If you are a heritage speaker of a language, a typical level 1 college course in the language will be easy for you. Some colleges do offer courses specifically for heritage speakers.

For transfer credit, the college course stands as it is, if you earn a C or higher grade. For a high school AP course, you need to earn a 3 on the AP exam. However, a college that you want to transfer the credit to may not necessarily accept either one, or require a higher grade or AP score, or accept it only for generic credit rather than subject credit for a specific course. Each college may have its own policy. AP credit is often listed on college web sites, but transfer credit from other colleges may only be listed if the pair of colleges has an articulation agreement (most commonly exists from community colleges to same state public universities).
