<p>@applesauce21 That’s nothing. I will have to travel for approximately 13 hours to get to Atlantic College. Hopefully the endurance I’ve built up from my school trip to France will keep me going-a hefty 36 hour bus ride with a quick trip on a ferry.</p>
<p>Did anyone get the latest e-mail from Tim Smith? It says that we have to wait for further communication until Friday, January 25th. Ahh, I’m going a little bit crazy!</p>
<p>@mirvinvitela yep, I got that! but it means that there are 3 days less of wait time between that email and the interview email (if they don’t push back the interview one, that is!), which is something to be thankful for!</p>
<p>I’ll continue the list :)</p>

<p>Anyone know where the California interview is usually held? I think I read San Francisco somewhere but thats about 8 hours away… Just wondering</p>
<p>Hmm…does anyone know how the mid-year grade report is intended to be sent? Cause
I just realized that I don’t know!</p>
<p>@lindzmm Last year the California interview was in Claremont. From what they said there, they basically find all of the applicants on a map and try to find a location that is in the middle. Although one of the applicants was living in China so they probably took him out as an outlier!!</p>
<p>@Apollo6 I’m a junior applicant applying for the second time from the US.</p>

<p>most recent list!</p>
<p>also, they sent out an email saying that they went through all the US applications! yaaay!</p>
<p>@lunascreatures: And now, we wait. Will everything be in order? Will they have gotten the scores I had to mail? Will my counselor get my grades and everything in? Ahhhh … I am so nervous! But excited nervous. </p>
<p>Also, you can add knoxandonyx, midwest, junior, USA applicant, if you’d like … </p>
<p>For everyone: Questions! What language(s) do you speak? (Any level of proficiency, just specify.) If you could speak any language fluently, on top of whatever it is you speak now, what language would it be and why?</p>
<p>I speak english (obviously- haha), and I also speak ASL, if you count that as speaking I’m at the level that I can have complete conversations on any topic in ASL, but I wouldn’t say I’m fluent. I know a little spanish and a little hebrew, but I didn’t put those on the application because I can’t converse in either, just simple phrases and such.</p>
<p>I speak English, obviously as well I also speak Spanish conversationally, at a point where I could be fluent within a year or two. I also speak a smidge of Russian, and have tinkered in German, Mandarin, Hebrew, Italian, and Greek, but mostly phrases, like lindzmm said. If I could speak ANY language, it would definitely be to either speak Russian better, or maybe Arabic. I think both languages are so beautiful and useful to know.</p>
<p>I speak Russian (fluently, thought I’m ashamed of my grammar sometimes. I don’t use it as often, so it’s not as good as my English!)
I’m getting close to something resembling fluency in Spanish through studying it at school, but it’ll take a few more years (or immersion) for me to get there I can converse on most topics in Spanish but my grammar’s bad and I have to think of…creative ways to say many things
I’d like to learn French, first, because a lot of people I know take it in school, and I’ve been to multiple French-speaking countries, and the exposure to it makes me want to learn it! I don’t really have a more specific reason. After that, Italian, Arabic, and Mandarin, probably.
Boredom while waiting for a flight in a Belgian airport has taught me one thing, though. Reading foreign languages, if you know the lettering, is easier than it seems. My dad picked up a newspaper in French and had me read it using ~cognates~ and ~common roots~. Yay languages!</p>

<p>I speak English (shocker!), almost fluent French, been learning it since I was 7 so I just need a ton of immersion to get me there and a little smidge of Japanese. Asian languages really interest me, so I could see myself studying things like Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese, goodness knows how long it would take to get my head around the characters though! Funnily enough, my goal is to be fluent in 6 languages by the time I’m 26, hopefully I don’t give up by then!</p>
<p>@stuffzhappenin You can totally do it! Some languages are easier to learn than others and some languages are really similar, for example, if you were to learn Spanish, picking up Italian would be pretty simple, and then you’ve got 4 under your belt. It’s just hard to remember when you’re not using it as much. I took Hebrew for 6 years (elementary school) and get to a conversational level, wen’t to Israel and got even better, and then I changed schools, didn’t speak it for a year, and lost everything. If you use it though, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I speak fluently Serbian (and almost all languages in Soth Slavic group of languages, 'cause they are the same as Serbian), I speak fluently English and Spanish (almost fluently). Also, I know French really good, but not that good as English and Spanish. I would really like to learn German and Hindi. :)</p>
<p>I speak english fluently, french to A2 Level (think IB qualification language B), basic italian and basic Japanese. I would like to be fluent in…well everything! But the first two that come to mind are Mandarin and Quenya (if you know which country Quenya is from you have my immediate and wholehearted respect XDXD)</p>
