Will taking Spanish 3 but not taking Spanish 1 and 2 count as 3 levels of foreign language?

Really? 2 years of HS language= 1 semester of college language?
hmm, then couldn’t I start a new language like Arabic in college?
If what you are saying is true, I can take 2 semesters of Arabic, one in the fall and and one in spring. That would equate to 4 years of HS language?

Depends on the high school and college. In California, it is fairly common to assume the following equivalencies in foreign language courses:

College semester 1 = HS year 2
College semester 2 = HS year 3
College semester 3 = HS year 4
