<p>Here’s what Austin Bean posted on the Thickenvelope blog on this topic:</p>
<p>English as a second language will not count as a foreign language but your native language might. In (original questioner)'s case it will not because Georgian is not among the 40 or so languages in which we offer placement tests. Russian, Ancient Egyptian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Norwegian, Macedonian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Armenian do count though… </p>
<p>So, basically, it seems like a variety of native languages will satisfy the requirement. Sucks to be you if you’re a native Georgian… but if you’re from ancient Egypt I guess you’ll be just fine.</p>
