I'm going to be a foreign exchange student to Germany for my 11th grade year of high school. I don't know what kind of school that would be in Germany, but, what are languages I could choose to take in that country?
I'm really hoping Russian is taught there ^^
English is big there, you might see French, Dutch, Spanish, and possibly Russian.
does anyone know about the test u take if u arent takeing a language in high school but are fluent in another language (russian)for the UC system?
I don't think one exists. They require 2-3 years of acutal class. However, you can check with your counselor in HS or call the UC school you want to apply to. Maybe if you could get into your high school's AP class and take the test that might work. I'm pretty sure they won't let you take the AP test without taking the class though.
I want to major in linguistics and Russian. Which universities facilitate these?
Arizona State University in Phoenix. They have a specialized "slavic languages" department in the linguistics department.
English is my first language, I am very close to reaching fluency in Spanish, and I am currently taking Chinese in high school.
I was thinking about learning Croatian as a 4th language but I think that something like Russian or Arabic would be more useful as a businessman.
However if I were to work with the government it seems as though a language of a small random country like Croatian would help me to get a higher job due to the scarcity of speakers.
What do you think?
I believe that American Sign Language (or the native sign language of which ever country you live, if not US/Canada) is beneficial for all hearing people to learn. Since you know so many hearing language, a sign language can now help you to expand into another community which has a rich culture and a lot to offer!
And you’ll learn about Deaf Culture which will make you one less hearing person to be ignorant of our community and culture!
Hello
How are you?
Thank for writing me in spanish. I was very impressed.
In response to your letter, I am doing fine at school and I am happy that this semester is almost over.
I also hope to see you at school and good luck with your final exams.
Don't need to translate this but read:
In case this is needed for gramar..I am a female who is writing to another female.
Please translate this and don't change anything for bad words. (It has happend to me before)
Hopefully the yahoo user who I am writting this for won't find out about this letter and tranlate it.
I do not have cyrillic letters, infortunately, buthere it comes:

Im a high school junior and I have around a 3.4 unweighted GPA and a 3.9 weighted GPA for my freshman and sophmore years. This year I am taking three AP's and the rest honors which will boost up my GPA. The first time I took the ACT I got a 26 but im hoping to raise it to at least a 28 or a 29 on Feb. My top school choices are
-George Washington U.
-American U.
-Boston U.
I want to study Pre-Med and russian language.
I also understand these schools are very expensive. We are a family of four and I know with my parents income they cant pay all of it. Around how much do my parents need to make so i could get some financial aid from FAFSA.
Use collegeboard to get the GPA of admitted student for each of the schools and you can also see a list of majors offered, I believe. Visit these school's websites since most give out ACT/SAT and GPA averages.
There is no guaranteed set amount you can receive from the government, it is dependent on your expected family contribution (EFC) which is what the FAFSA is used to determine. The smaller the EFC, the more potential aid you can receive from the government.
I would highly recommend that you start looking for scholarships if you believe your parent's income will put you at a disadvantage for aid. Fastweb.com is a good scholarship website to use.
