<p>I am a high school junior who is supposed to be taking Spanish 4 next year. I not only want to take the class, but learn the language, but unfortunately I started late and now my school no longer offers the class. I would like to take it at a community college during the summer but the level I need is not offered.</p>
<p>Should i concurrently enroll and take it during at the community college during the school year since most top colleges want to see atleast four years of high school language? Or is it not worth the time money and effort ? And do you think the college will know it is no longer offered at my school even though it is a fairly recent change?</p>
<p>I absolutely encourage you to take Spanish, it’s very useful, it improves your thinking/reasoning abilities and it helps with English grammar, too. Besides, those who are bilingual often have an easier time on the job market. Now that my advertising is over…</p>
<p>You can concurrently enroll throughout the school year, it won’t hurt; quite the opposite: it will help you in college admissions. When your guidance councelor sends a report to colleges (or a letter) you may ask her to include that although the school cancelled the program, you had enough initiative and a strong desire to learn (see how nice that sounds? 
) to pursue Spanish on your own!</p>
<p>Enjoy and good luck!</p>
<p>Not only will your initiative stand out a bit, as previously mentioned, it can be worth it to take a language now in terms of making your college life easier. Many colleges have a foreign language requirement in order to graduate, and at some if you’ve taken enough in HS you have satisfied the requirement. Obviously this will vary school to school.</p>
