My son is in 9th G and talking Spanish 2.
He could not take spanish 3 in 10G (due to school constraints).

Questions:

  1. Can he jump to Spanish 4 honors in 11th G ? How is the difficulty ?
  2. Any Spanish 3 courses possible in Silicon Valley bay area ?
  3. Would Spanish 4 Honors add benefit if he is interested in pursuing Engineering in say UC Berkeley ?

Thanks a lot.
