<p>I don’t follow sports… D;</p>
<p>Out of my more “academic” subjects I think the chem/bio would be the best. I’m not sure why, but the people in my school go through the other classes fine, but when it comes to science, they don’t seem to understand anything. Both my bio and chem classes were ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>I wish I could say that math was my best subject, because I used to be beast at it, but I’m terrible at algebra…</p>
<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore currently taking:</p>
<p>Honors Bio
Honors Physics
Honors Precalculus
AP Gov
Honors English
Chinese 4
PE (It’s required all 4 years…)</p>
<p>And this is a possible junior-year schedule for me:</p>
<p>AP Bio
AP Chem (took Honors Chem as a freshman)
AP Calc BC
AP US History (it’s a school graduation requirement)
AP Lang
Journalism (Newspaper Staff)
PE</p>
<p>My e/c are swimming, speech team, DECA, BPA, and being a writer (and hopefully editor) for my school newspaper.</p>
<p>@infinitynbeyond I wish my school offers Chinese. Is it fun? I wouldn’t mind taking it. I’m tired of Spanish and French. Chinese is something different and look interesting.</p>
<p>My French teacher told us that Spanish, French, Italian (etc.) are a level 1 on a difficulty scale of 5 for English-speakers (1 being the easiest, 5 being the hardest). Mandarin, Japanese, and other Asian languages are a level 4.
Not sure if it’s true, but I thought it was interesting.</p>
<p>@catchtwentythree I agree with that lol. When I was self-studying Korean, It was really challenging. My least favorite part was grammar.</p>
<p>I bet! I tried self-studying Japanese but the grammar/verbage was strange to me. For example, the Japanese follow a “subject-object-verb” format instead of “subject-verb-object.” Apparently they also use different versions of words depending on the format in which they are used.</p>
<p>For those of you who have taken Spanish 1 and 2, do you think I could finish both of the classes this summer? With the way that the online courses are set up in my county, you accumulate a certain number of points to complete the course. But, I feel that this grading method is horrible. So to ensure that I learn Spanish correctly, do you think I should take notes on the material and study as if I were in a real class?</p>

<p>@catchtwentythree Korean is the same way. I get very confused when I listen to K-pop songs, when I translate them, the literal translation is weird lol. But it’s fun though.</p>
<p>Hi guys, I haven’t checked in for a while, lol.
I don’t watch sports either 
but I did freak out about the world cup, so it must have been veryy intense.
Re: languages. I tried self studying japanese too! (when I was like 11). It was very hard, especially the unusual grammar. I speak Hindi naturally, but it’s not <em>that</em> different from English. Surprisingly, French, my chosen language for HS study has been hard for me. Maybe I should try studying more, but I have a hard time remembering vocab/grammar. My friend is a linguistics god though, and she picks it up with her eyes closed…how I envy such people.
@evan, I think that would work, as long as you’re confident that you could finish both of the classes and get as much as possible out of them. If you’re a languages person, it might even be easy for you- someone I know self studied a lot and outright skipped spanish 1 and 2.</p>
<p>@ecouter</p>
<p>I have a good grasp on Hindi also, seeing that my parents are expats. I, oddly, find the gramar structure almost the same as French. I’ve studied a few languages in the past, and have found that most Indo-Euro and Latin languages share very similar grammatical rules.</p>
<p>English (no honors classes)
Precalc (Honors)
Chem (Honors) because my school goes Physics-Chem-Bio
History (no honors classes)
Chinese 2
btw no ap classes; honors classes is the highest.</p>

<p>:D A bunch of you are taking East Asian language classes! So lucky! I wish my school had that.</p>
<p>@catchtwentythree: I tend to disagree I’ve been learning Korean myself and I find that it is much easier than Spanish, but then again it might be because I have no interest in Spanish whatsoever.</p>
<p>@sarah301
Lol, I don’t either. Spanish just seems too practical/obvious/boring. </p>
<p>@FantasyVesperia
I listen to J-Pop/Rock instead, although I got into Japanese because of anime. Hmm, the only K-Pop singer I know of is Rain.
Literal translations of languages aren’t exact; go to Google Translate for proof of that. </p>
<p>If my school had Latin, I would take it in a heartbeat. But that’s never gonna happen… 
Guess I’ll stick with French hehe</p>
<p>^ It’s too bad your school doesn’t have Latin. It’s a beautiful and complex language, and I’ve loved studying it. I plan to apply to a Latin governor’s school that takes place over the summer–wish me luck!</p>
<p>A side note: Do any of you have Skyrim? I got it for Christmas, and I think it’s the best game I’ve ever played.</p>
<p>@Studious: I dont have Skyrim, as I am not a huge gamer. I heard it’s really amazing though. I prefer to play things like The Sims or Diner Dash.</p>
<p>I wish that my school offered Latin, but my school is like ‘only Spanish or French’.</p>

<p>@evanb1996 & @catchtwentythree My school offers Latin. I decided to take I & II. Where I live, you need 2 language credits to graduate.</p>
<p>@Studious</p>
<p>I got Skyrim the day it came out, blew through everything in under 2 weeks, and haven’t touched it since. It got, deservedly, a ton of hype and I’ll admit that it was very good, but the gameplay and story were too lackluster to keep me interested. </p>
<p>@evan</p>
<p>You could always take Latin on NCVPS or a similar online program.</p>
<p>@Quacoh: I’ve tried to get into Latin 1 via NCVPS last year, but my counselor said that my principal is only allowing students to do credit recovery foreign language classes during the school year. I was like that is some #*%%$8!^, but my school has a terrible time getting people through foreign language classes since there is only one foreign language teacher.</p>
<p>@Studious
I received Skyrim a week or so before Christmas and fell in love as well. However, after leaving the game for a week to visit my family out of town, I lost any enthusiasm for it. I’ve barely touched it since. It was “the best game ever!” while I was playing it, but I have found what I consider to be more productive uses of my time. :)</p>
