4 Year Plan

Here is some slightly different advice

  1. Don’t do so much during your summers… I know you want to get some classes over with so you can take what you want for fun, but I promise, you will love having those blissful summers when you have a ton of AP classes.
  2. I personally think taking Spanish 1 and 2 9 months apart is really stupid. Just take 2 years of German or a 2nd year of Spanish. (No one learns a foreign language in 1 year. Normally 3-4)
  3. If you speak Spanish fluently, why don’t you test out of Spanish 1 and 2?
  4. Since your school may not have one pre - AP, I recommend going to your counselor and asking to be a teacher Aid for a subject. Your counselor should be fine with it as long as you are meeting graduation requirements.
  5. its best to only take 1 language for 3 - 4 years and know it really well.
