I can take one year of French and one year of German in high school to meet the foreign language requirement.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Mentioned

Answer: (A)

Two years of a foreign language in high school are typically needed, and those two years are expected to be in the same language so you can build continued study and proficiency. The idea of taking one year of French and one year of German sounds like you have two years of foreign language, but it doesn’t meet that usual rule because the language changes each year. So the statement is not correct under the common policy. If your school allows counting two different languages toward the requirement, you’d want to verify with a counselor, but the standard expectation is two years of the same language.
