<p>So I'm a native Spanish speaker, but after 10 years of English-based education, my Spanish has gotten kind of rusty--I'm still definitely comfortable reading a book/writing an essay/talking to my friends in it, but my grammar isn't always flawless and I don't have the precision or command of language I'd like to have. Ideally, I'd like my English and my Spanish (which was actually my first language; I didn't learn English till I started school) to be completely equal, so I really wanted to take some classes in college if I could.</p>
<p>I've also been taking Arabic for the past year, and I really love it (though I am pretty terrible at it ) . Up until today, I knew I'd have to choose between one or the other in college, because I've heard it's really not advisable to take two foreign languages at once. However, today I had the AP Spanish test and my Arabic final within six hours of each other, and surprisingly, I did way better on my Arabic final than I ever expected to and I honestly think it's because I was switching in between languages all day. So I was wondering--does anyone have any experience with taking two foreign languages at once? Does it make both languages harder to learn? Any other thoughts?</p>
