I asked two extremely clear questions. How hard can it be to understand that I am looking for recommendations for colleges with good foreign language programs

And in answers #1 and #2, there were specific schools listed. Middlebury has been listed several times.

I know a lot of FL majors. Most were conversational, some could write fairly well, none have become interpreters. Most spent a year in a foreign country while in college, or at least afterward. My sister can still converse in French and German but cannot translate at a high level (in court, in business documents) because it has been 40 years since she used the languages daily.
