Foreign Language at Yale

<p>This explains Yale’s Foreign Language requirements: <a href=“Yale College”>Yale College;

<p>If you want to do a new foreign language, then the requirements differ slightly. Normally, you would have to take 3 semesters of the new language in order to meet the language requirement, but if you place into an L5 course (5th semester language courses and higher are designated L5) in your original language (either by receiving a 4 or 5 on the AP Test, or by taking a placement test), then you need only take 2 semesters of a new language to meet the requirement,</p>

<p>For instance, when I arrived at Yale, I had a 5 on the AP Spanish Language test. That meant I could meet the language requirement either by taking one semester of L5 Spanish, or by taking two semesters of a new language.</p>

<p>Angelutza: you would need to take a placement test. But, I notice that you are from Romania. If your primary language of instruction in school was Romanian (rather than English), you could meet the language requirement by taking one of group of writing-intensive English classes (English 114, 120, or 450).</p>
