Can you major/minor in a foreign language without having any prior experience?

Yes. I majored in Japanese and I didn’t have any actual prior experience with the language before college. I knew a few words and phrases from watching anime and Jdramas and listening to Jpop but I did not know how to actually speak, read, or write it.
