UP and the ADMU have pretty good Foreign Lang programs. Taft's isn't as good, but it's passable.

Whoops. I meant "has taken at least two consecutive semesters of a foreign language."

Two, I thought it was four.......years :o!!!

Yeah, it's four years.  Four years is a drop in the frickin' bucket when it comes to learning a language, though (at the high school level, at least).  I've been studying French for 15 years and Japanese for 8, got excellent scores on the AP tests and numerous language awards from my school... and I still don't consider myself fluent.

Ever been to the countries you're studying? I'm sure you have, but that's important too (especially if you can nab an immersion program!).
I gueeessed thaaat.

Also, whyyyy are weeee talking liiike lame ghooosts?

And, (heh, heh) you guys just made a Young Frankenstien (with Gene Wilder) joke and you don't even know it ("Werewolf (*points*)!. No; there, wolf...there, castle. Why are you talking that way? I don't know, I thought you wanted to talk this way? No. Oh, whatever, I'm game!")!

I've been to France and Quebec, once.  My family's a bit low on time and money.
