Years of language?

Applying to College

<p>how many years of a certain language do you need to study abroad?</p>

<p>during all my high school yrs (i am a junior) i have been dying to study french. I took french classes in my freshman and sophmore years, but they were not complete. I cannot take french this year, because my school does not offer it. Now i will have to take french online my whole senior year, but either in French I again or French II, even though i have not studied in a whole year. Will that matter when it comes to studying abroad? and when will I be able to study abroad? probably my junior and senior years at college?</p>

<p>It depends on the program.
Some programs don’t have any language requirement, others require one. It varies greatly and you need to check the programs requirement.</p>

<p>When I was in high school there was no French Language offered in my school, I went to the l’alliance francaise in my city. If you live in a large city, chances are good that you might find one. </p>

<p>I can speak with personal experience that no amount of foreign language classes at school had prepared me for the real thing.</p>
