foreign language

I plan on minoring in Arabic at the USNA, but I have no prior experience with the language (in high school, I took French). I am wondering if it is not a good idea because I'm more interested in Arabic than in French, but I have no experience in Arabic. I want to take Arabic because I know its...

Hey guys! I was just wondering if it was possible to take a different foreign language class than the foreign language you learned in High School. In my case I am a native Spanish speaker and let's just say I want to take Mandarin if I go to the USNA, is it possible?

Is there any advantage with admissions/WCS for more modern foreign language than the 2 years recommended when applying? For example, 2 years of Mandarin in middle school plus 4 years in high school, including AP Mandarin senior year? Also, would attending an almost month long language immersion...

I thought it would be helpful to have a recent thread on foreign languages. So just a couple of questions to start it... 1. What language should our younger lurkers/posters take? 2. How important is a foreign language in the application process? 3. How much choice does one have regarding foreign...
