To take spanish IV or not to take?

<p>Hi, I am going to be a senior next year and am wondering If I should take spanish 4. I have completed the language requirement with my 3 years of language. I am already signed up for BC calculus and Phyiscs C next year so thats 9 periods with lunch.</p>

<p>BTW does anyone know if NYU recommends 4 years of language?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Take it! </p>

<p>I'm taking Spanish 4 right now and it's been the most fun year of Spanish I've had yet! I don't know what your course curriculum is at your school, but at my school Spanish 4 focuses more on the culture than the language. We've read Don Quixote and Sombrero de Tres Picos and even had an art unit, which was really fun.</p>

<p>Although you've satisfied the language requirements at your school, I'm sure all colleges would say that four years of language is a good thing. Don't let what you've already learned go to waste.</p>

<p>I have to say that i hate Spanish IV.. it was a waste of time, didn't help my understanding of the language at all, it was more a history and literature course in Spanish. Maybe my teacher was just bad.</p>

<p>9 periods???
that's pretty insane...list all of your classes and I will tell you if you should take it
at my school, spanish IV is pretty intense, and the teacher assigns a ton of work, if it is like this for your school, you might want to reconsider it since you're taking physics C, which takes a lot of self-studying (well at least it does at my school...)</p>

<p>Pretty insane? I have 9 periods, not including lunch. I don't even have one.</p>

<p>Anyways, take the Spanish IV. Foreign languages are one of -the- nicest things, class-wise, a college will see. Much better than, say, Current Events. In most cases, anyways.</p>

<p>More language = mucho better!</p>

<p>take spanish 4 because it will help you become stronger in talking and thinking in spanish...</p>

<p>Look at some of the requirements of colleges you are interested in. I think I am right that my son will not have to take a language in college as 4 years of a language in high school exempts him from taking a language.</p>

<p>take it. spanish rocks.</p>

<p>also, more selective colleges like to see that you challenged yourself beyond just the minimum requirements.</p>
