<p>French is a foreign language in the US though. It might not be in Canada but it is in the US. </p>
<p>It’s mostly to the citizens of that country they left to that it’s considered a foreign language. You wouldn’t say to yourself (as an assumed US Citizen) that you speak the foreign language of English, just like a German wouldn’t say to themselves that they speak the foreign language of German.</p>
<p>But they’re both foreign languages when you go to Brazil.</p>
<p>The way I think of it every language is a foreign language outside a country where it is natively spoken.</p>
<p>However, I’m pretty sure it is easier to learn than a complete foreign language.
At least, my school is confidant to offer that for one-year compared to 4-year paths in Chinese and Spanish</p>
<p>Anyway, I guess foreign means another country in my mind. I still think being fluent in ASL is equivalent to learning another language, but it is very different all at the same time.</p>
<p>In fact, colleges might like it more as it is so unique compared to the hordes of seniors with Spanish or someother bland Romance language on their transcripts</p>
<p>Define Foreign: Located away from one’s native country: </p>
<p>There are differences between ASL and BSL (British sign language) British sign language would be a foreign language but not ASL. Though I do think it should count towards the credit requirements anywhere.</p>
