[nabs-l] Choosing a Foreign Language

[tatyana]

Depending on what language would be useful for your career. My friend who is 
in  a graduate school of chemestry says that he is studying Japaneese on his 
own because  he wants to get an access to a lot of technology articles that 
in Japaneese.

Subject: [nabs-l] Choosing a Foreign Language



Hello List,

I have been looking over the requirements of a particular degree I am 
interested in obtaining and noticed that it has a foreign language 
requirement. I’m not as afraid about how to take a foreign language class as 
a blind student as much as I am about how to go about deciding which 
language I should take. Back when I went to high school, there were only two 
foreign languages to choose from, and since I enjoyed my art and journalism 
electives, I chose to take neither of them.

However, in today’s college environment it appears as though it is no longer 
a simple choice between French or Spanish. The community college I am 
currently attending has French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and Vietnamese. 
In addition, the four year college I would like to transfer into offers 
courses in Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Italian, Portuguese, 
Russian, Swahili, and Ojibwa. So with all these options, does anyone have 
any advice on how I could go about picking the right one for me? I have a 
few ideas in mind, but I am interested in hearing how other students have 
gone about making this decision.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
