Just study Japanese and Chinese. Yeah, they take more time, but if you're interested in
them then you will cull the rewards later anyway. And not being able to study 2 languages at the same time is nonsense. It requires time management however, to be sure, although all the Dutch pupils who study three or four at school seem to counter Leosmith's argument :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I attended an AP workshop last summer for Spanish teaching and I thought it was very challenging. If I remember
correctly, there are 2 spoken sections of 2 minutes duration, a short written section and a longer written section based on reading/listening selections. There was a reading comprehension part, as well as basic listening comprehension. Most Spanish teachers wondered how to get students ready for this exam in 4 short years! Many students who got 5s were native speakers, although there were of course non-natives who got 3 or above. I think you really need good preparation for this exam, not just good language skills. You need to practice speaking off the cuff in formal and informal settings, as well as writing quickly, as everything is timed. If your school doesn't offer specific classes, I really think you're in for a greater challenge. Although I have never taught an AP level course, I had one student transfer into my district & took the AP French course online as a French 4 student. I could never get her to speak French to me and thought that didn't bode well for her exam. She left the room in tears... I admire your efforts and wish you luck! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
