To take advanced french or not to take advanced french--Parents' advice really needed

<p>haha awkward, ignore the 2nd part of the title</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am currently a sophomore in college and my advisors are just so hard to get in contact with. The deadline to add a class in place of Advanced French is today so I am in a bit of a panic. </p>

<p>the dilemma:
I took intermediate french last year during my freshman year (i only had 2 years of french in high school) and I struggled to get a B+ (a lot of google translate use etc). Now I moved on to advanced french..the next step. The class is just hard for me...I cannot understand a reading without outside tools and I just dont speak very well. I am in a class of 10 and believe me, I am at the very bottom of the pack.</p>

<p>I need to completely advanced french for my major however (European Studies) so if I dont take it this year, I would need to take it next year..my junior year. I want to apply to a program however and the qualification for it is at least 4 semesters of french...which is equivalent to intermediate..which i completed already hmmm. </p>

<p>anyway, is it a good idea to not take advanced french right now in order to take a class that would prepare me for advanced french and then i plan to study abroad in france over the summer. that could help me a bit too.</p>

<p>Yup, do what you plan on doing and wait to take it. I don’t see any advantage to you taking it now, and the practice abroad and on your own time will help, too.</p>
