<p>I took a 4-hour a week for 13 weeks German class earlier this spring. During a college interview, the interviewer suggested that I get a recommendation from my German professor to show my interest in languages. (I took Spanish, too, but my Spanish teacher basically said he won’t do recs.)</p>
<p>The last time I talked to my German teacher was to tell her I couldn’t sign up for German 2 because the class didn’t fit my schedule. She replied saying she’ll miss me and that I had a really firm grasp of the language, so at least she remembered me two months after the class!</p>
<p>Would it be weird to email her asking for a rec, since I haven’t spoken to her in three-four months? I can’t ask her personally because I don’t know her office hours. Plus I think me asking her in person would put her on the spot and she’ll say yes even if she doesn’t want to (she’s a really nice lady).</p>
<p>I still have all of my German classwork, so I can easily refresh her mind with what I got on tests/quizzes/papers/homework/etc.</p>
<p>I don’t want to be completely random and ask her out of the blue, but I really want to show colleges that I’m strong with languages.</p>
<p>Opinions? Thanks!</p>
