perhaps it's just me, who makes things more complicated than they should be...
So high school doesn't offer advanced placement/college level courses?
and would you have to know exactly what course in college you were going to take before college? or wait a year to decide, they enter college?
I'm jealous of my mom, who all she has to do to speak a language, is listen to it for about a year .__.;
what talent...
so far, I can speak only english and spanish, although, like you I know enough Lao and Thai to speak to my aunts, uncles and grandparents.
But languages I am dying to learn are French (considering taking a course next year), Japanese, Korean, Latin, perhaps Italian, as well as mandarin > u <
