<p>Bad idea for college admissions or no?</p>
<p>Say you love this language and throughout your high school years, you study it in order to be advanced in it in speaking, writing and reading.</p>
<p>Is it worth it or no?</p>
<p>Why not?</p>
<p>Colleges won’t look at your application and say “Wow, this kid studied a language all by himself for four years, what a tool”</p>
<p>it’s good if you can do it, but a lot of people claim to have “self-studied” a language and are about as fluent as, say, a 4-year-old native speaker</p>
<p>that’s not bad, actually…</p>
<p>Should you choose to self-study, make use of all free resources before buying anything. A lot of people will spend hundreds buying books and software only to find, a month later, they’re no longer interested in learning.</p>
<p>Better to use free resources and come to that conclusion. Plus I think a lot of the free sites are much better than say…Rosetta Stone (which seriously sucks. It’s horrible.)</p>
