Okay so I took Spanish 1 at my local junior college, and I’m taking Spanish 2 this summer. My school says those two semesters count for 3 years of Spanish total, and I was wondering if anyone thought I should try and take that fourth year at my school? Our language department is lacking, like it’s not great, so I’d prefer to take it elsewhere if I have to. If you think I do have to, do you have any recommendations for online schools that I can just like enroll for a completely online course? I’m a busy gal I don’t have time 😭
You don't necessarily need to take a 4th year of Spanish just to meet the minimum requirements, but if you want to improve your level, increase your chances of getting into competitive schools, or really want to be good at the language, it's worth taking. If your school's language lab isn't great and you're busy, choosing a reputable online course (like SDVS, Homeschool Spanish Academy, or Conversa) is a reasonable solution that's flexible and can earn credits.
