^ I disagree. Slow paced Spanish over 2 years +2 regular classes doesn’t ‘mean’ the same rigor as Level 4.
If you’d start at basic Spanish, why not pick another language that has level 1,2, 3,4 rather than slow paced versions of 1 cut into two years (which would be excruciatingly slow…)
Does the school make regular and honors freshmen start at Spanish 2 and do you have a way to cover Spanish 1 (online? Summer school?) to jump into Spanish 2 with your cohort?
