What counts as an extracurricular activity?Answered
I’ve always been a monolingual English speaker but am intensely learning Spanish as a hobby outside of school. I plan on being fluent by the time I graduate.
Does this count as an extracurricular?

Hi @psychiatry!
You could use language self-learning as an extracurricular, but it wouldn't stand out much in terms of achievement. It can help you fill out your extracurricular list (and show a wide array of interests), but you'll want to compliment it with something more structured or competitive.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes. If it is class that is not required that you enjoy, I think that totally counts as an extracurricular.
