<p>(Freshman year I took Chinese 1 to learn how to read my language, but then when I transferred to my new school, they didn't offer any Chinese. I still take Chinese outside of school, but I dropped into Spanish and here I am now. Would anyone also like to give advice on what to do with my Spanish course?)</p>
