What language is the easiest I have to take a 101 and a 102
level foreign language course
at my University. I tried
Spanish but I am not really
digging it, what language is
the easiest to learn when
English is your native
language?

german. its the closest to english. but spanish is probably what you'll see more in usa. perhaps italian or french may even be more to your taste, since many words do come from those latin bases. many words were borrowed from french, especially. again, i'd recommend german, i took that too and for me it was the easiest to learn. |

Is American sign language I plan to go to BYU. And all
the high school teachers tell
me that most colleges require
a second language. I want to
learn sign language instead of
Spanish. Is sign language
considered a second language
that I need to get into
college?

Some colleges will give foreign language credit for sign language and others won't. Most colleges require two years of college-level foreign language, but you take a placement test at the beginning which can exempt you from part or all of it. BYU may or may not have accommodations for you to "test out" of sign language, but may not if they don't offer courses in it. So you may end up having to take another language when you get there, but many students who take two years of high school Spanish have to start over in college anyway, or in any case they will usually have to take a year of it in college. So even if they don't take your credits, you wouldn't be far behind, and if you want to learn ASL and have the opportunity to do so, you should go ahead because it's not offered at a lot of colleges. As for how it will look on your college application, one language in high school is as good as another. It will look even better if you're also involved in a sign language club or volunteer with the deaf community in your area. |
