zoomers- I did French in high school (got a 4 on the AP test, so I was decent but not great) and then switched to Spanish. You would think that they would be similar but I don’t think my prior French knowledge helped me at all for Spanish. I still had to do all the assignments and most of the vocab words were nothing like French words.
And I really like the idea of spanish, because it’s so useful. But honestly, I would rather take a philosophy course that makes me think instead of becoming a memorization robot (ok- that takes it a little too far, but you get the picture.)
I had one friend though, who took 2 language classes at once (HALF her schedule one quarter), and she was really sad when she had to give one up so that she could get started on distros and her major requirements.
