I studied Latin with 4 courses (I, II, III, Literature, and I’m currently self-studying AP. I also self-studied while doing these courses with books like Wheelock’s and Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata). I studied French on my own during eighth and ninth grade, and the amount of French I was reading and producing at the end of that year was pretty intermediate, and I have a textbook called “la nouvelle anthologie française” which is written for fourth year high school French students and is basically a primer containing authentic French Literature which explains obscure expressions in either modern French or English (though the former is more widely used). I can understand it without a great deal of difficulty. We also have the old French teacher here, who actually used to teach AP, and could be a great resource (she already has lent me some good literature books). I’m also taking Chinese I and Spanish I, but Chinese does not offer the opportunity of AP. I also was not impressed by the way the Chinese class was taught (we learned simple words, and can’t really use it for expressing ourselves which is the main goal of languages, no?). I’ll probably take AP Spanish senior year, and I think AP French can be a demonstration of my skills in French and my love of learning languages.
