Language Credits from high school?

If you have an auditory processing disorder, I wouldn't go with the French CLEP exam, even if it is free. Instead, if you know French well enough, go for the ACTFL reading exam.

If you've forgotten most of the French you knew, spend a couple of weeks getting back up to speed with something like Duolingo.

Or you can just do Sophia Spanish.

The thing is, I actually really enjoy French. I've been kind of on a duolingo loop for a few years; go hard for a while, forget the app exists for several months, start again.

I'd try an exam, but the listening portion scares me. I can barely understand what's going on in tv shows or movies without subtitles.

Edit: whoops, I meant to reply to the person who recommended the clep exam. I'll look into the ACTFL!

The exams were created by ACTFL: https://www.actfl.org/actfl-assessments/...sments/rpt

They are administered by LTI: https://www.languagetesting.com/lti/prod...ng_id/7130?

ACE recommends them for college credit: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...Active%22)
