Which country / region would you prefer to spend a lot of time in?? Srsly. Think of the food. The climate. As someone who “did” an unusual foreign language as a major and a career, I wish I’d thought more about sunshine levels, frehs fruits and veg, and state of the bathrooms. Ignore those at your peril!

On the upside of things, both of those languages are on the list supported by the FLAS fellowship, which is a very nice scholarship often providing fully tuition and a stipend. Be aware of this as you move forward. Offered through grad programs from the federal government.
