I am not sure what you are asking. But if you want to get some easy credits consider taking the Spanish CLEP test it can be worth up to 9 credits. You don't need to take Spanish courses unless the degree specifically requires Spanish. But taking the Spanish CLEP could be 9 easy credits.

You can of course earn credits for your native language by passing the ACTFL tests. If you pass their most advanced level test, you can earn upto 12 credits (6LL + 6UL). Check out this link: https://www.languagetesting.com/credit-r...ssessments
Just make sure their tests are still ACE-recommended. I know that their ACE recommendation had expired some months ago, and am not sure if it was renewed again. But if it is available, go for it.

CLEP is available, credits depending on your score.

In the US, they don't go by "mother language" in awarding credit for a foreign language - which is just about anything other than English. ASL, Spanish, French, Russian, etc. If you speak another language fluently, no matter the reason, feel free to get credits any way you can.

ACTFL has expired unfortunately, but there is still CLEP (6 or 9 credits depending on the score), Straighterline (Spanish I & II), Study.com (Spanish I, II, & SPA 105: Spanish for the Workplace), and UExcel (Spanish I).

I think there are also some BYU FLATS exams (up to 12cr) for $50. Not sure how those work, you'd have to look for that. They also have challenge exams worth more credit, if you want to research that.

And, there are also the NYU Foreign Language Proficiency Exams. I think it's about $350 for the 12cr exam, and $450 for the 16cr exam.

For CLEP you need to visit a test center.
If you require online proctoring you can still use Straighterline, Study.com and Instantcertcredit (new). Be sure not to duplicate courses, for example Spanish I at both SL and SDC, which would be pointless.

You'll have to go to the CLEP website and find a testing center nearest you. Then, go to the center and take the test there. You can not do this from home.

We have a member here who earned a PERFECT SCORE on the Spanish exam. If you do well, you'll get 9 college credits, so it's worth it - AND if you're not aware, you can take that exam for free when you do Modern States. I strongly recommend doing that!
