I’m going to go on a limb and completely disagree with justonedad on this one. Taking another language is a great thing and it is much easier learning something when you are younger when it is scientifically proven better for retention than when you are older and trying to fit everything in a few semesters of college. The foundation is important and I think it will help you taking it earlier on and lay a better groundwork for it should you decide to pursue it in college. Most colleges have some sort of placement system so that you won’t have to start at the elementary level if you end up taking the language there. In terms of admissions, I don’t think it will be a tremendous boost, but it does show your interests and your willingness to pursue them. Russian is not that common of a language to learn, so I think it would be impressive if you become proficient in it
