My son, a freshman, took AP Spanish in high school and scored a 5 on the exam, which would have placed him in L5 Spanish for one semester. In the fall, he shopped every L5 Spanish class that would fit into his schedule and hated all of them – he liked the teachers, but disliked the mandated curriculum (he didn’t care for the assigned reading material), so instead he took a year of a new language (L1 and L2) and loved both the teacher and the curriculum. That’s the great thing about the shopping period – you get to try out classes before committing to them.
