Non, I took 21/2 years of spanish and then needed to take Spanish again, but Spanish was full in h.s. so they made me take French for 2 years. Barely passed, struggled with the utter confusion of saying something in Spanish in French class. Then I didn't say a word or read either Spanish or French for 3 years. Took a Spanish class again 2 years ago, still confusion.

SD....if you took 2 1/2 years of Spanish, and 2 years of French....then you would more than qualify for the requirements at UBC...no?

Really its 3 years of Spanish.
The first two years of Spanish were done in Middle School so students could be doing upper university spanish/german/french/latin (the languages available at the school) by your last year in H.S.
Last two years of H.S. I did French.
Then I took a night class spanish class. Still didn't get it. lol

Well to graduate they want a foreign language.

OK. I'm getting confused.

So admittance to UBC requires that you have 2 years of a foreign language. You've had 5 years. Spanish and French ARE foreign languages. Where is the problem ?

Sportsdude · Jun 04 08 02:17

I think they want me to take 12 credits of a foreign language at UBC. That's what the letter implied, requirements for graduation.

JJ · Jun 04 08 02:20

I've run into the language require problem before with UBC. They want you to have French 8-12 if it's from high school. If you it university courses you need 2 years.

P.C. · Jun 04 08 02:23

Same here JJ. I took 8, 9and 10 in high school, and dropped it for 11 and 12. School career counselor said it was no longer a requirement. Turned out she was wrong.

JJ · Jun 04 08 02:25

She really wasn't wrong, just not totally informed. You do need just 3 years of high school language to get in to UBC, but to get your degree you need the equivalent of French 12.

P.C. · Jun 04 08 02:30

OK....I'm wrong all over the place. It wasn't French at all. (I thought about it after I posted and remembered taking French 12). It was Academic Math. I don't know what things are like now, but when I went to school, there was a General Math Program and the Academic Math Program. It was the Academic Math I dropped.

Uh, I'm really confused about this whole language thing. But I did take French from 8-12 and wished that I kept it cuz I could've been working for teh gov't.

I was crossing the street earlier and this fracking $%&* Purolator 5 tonne truck decides to turn when pedestrians had the right of way to cross. I was like "Does this truck want to find out how many people he could kill in one sweep?" /end of rant

I got it last week. They were at the corner of Thurlow and Melville - which I found very odd considering it wasn't a high traffic area compared to Robson and Thurlow.

Last night it was wondering where I was going to die with tornadic weather and monsoon rains while I was working (I hate tornadoes during the night for obvious reasons you can't track them).
Now its an oven.
