Thanks guys. As a person from Sweden, I don't have any fears of learning Finnish, but maybe someone else does The addition is welcome.
It looks like ACTFL does not grant credit directly, but you get ACE recommended credit so your university has to accept ACE. It can only grant credit for specific languages at specific levels and it is very confusing. As an example, of the beginner levels I clicked on it said credit can only be at the beginner level obtained for: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
However an advanced one I clicked on said credit can be obtained at the advanced level for: Afrikaans, Akan-Twi, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Baluchi, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cambodian, Cantonese, Cebuano, Chavacano, Czech, Dari, Dutch, English, French, Ga, Georgian, German, Greek, (Modern), Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Hebrew, Hiligaynon, Hindi, Hmong-Mong, Hungarian, Igbo, Ilocano, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kashmiri, Kazakh, Kikongo-Kongo, Korean, Krio, Kurdish, Lao, Malay, Malayalam, Mandarin, Mandingo-Bambara, Nepali, Pashto, Persian-Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian/Croatian, Sindhi, Sinhalese, Slovak, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Tausug, Telugu, Thai, Tigrinya, Turkish, Turkmen, Uighur, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Wolof, Wu and Yoruba.
Plus the credits possible from the test are divided into "Lower-division Baccalaureate" and "upper-division Baccalaureate". There is no note on the page explaining if there is a credit difference between the "Lower division" credits of a beginner's test versus the "Lower division" credits of an advanced test.
It looks like ACTFL test costs $165, you can get up to 9 credits per test, and Americans are using it as certification towards being interpreters, which is good to know.
