My rising 8th grader took a Arabic online course last summer via the Johns Hopkins CTY and really liked the language. She would like to continue learning Arabic again this summer. Caveat--her school does not offer Arabic as a FL option in high school so she would be taking Spanish all through. She is rather good with picking up languages (is already in the Advanced Spanish section at school) but I want her to think a bit more before committing out of school time to learning another language. She is not athletic so she feels this could be a valuable EC for her. Do you good folks have any advice? I know this is the age for exploration but given how heavy the study schedule can become it might be tough to do something halfway. Any ideas for her as she thinks about this? Thank you so much!
