[nabs-l] Choosing a Foreign Language

[Teal Bloodworth]

Hi Elizabeth

I also have to take a foreign language for my social work major and i was 
told that the spanish is the more realistic choice since that is the more 
common language found in the US.

Hey Elizabeth. I also had to take a foreign language for my undergraduat
degree. I really did not like this, so for me I wanted to take the easiest
one. I think if you are looking for the easiest, it is probably spanish. I
had no problem learning spanish, and I did very  well in all of the classes.
Good luck!

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
