Hi,

I finished French IV as a high school sophomore and will be matriculating at Harvard this fall. I have not been able to test out of the language requirement, I am too rusty. I would prefer not to suck up 2 valuable courses with languages if it could be done elsewhere. Are there summer courses (abroad?) that I could take which would get me out of the language requirement?

Sorry if I sound rather negative about languages, they’re just not my strong suit and I think they’d stress me out during the year. I could definitely deal with it over the summer.

Thanks for the advice!
