College students don't need a language foundation to learn small languages. I am, and I am learning Thai now! Without a language foundation, it is the first time to come to college to contact a small language! However, there is no foundation, only hard work. To learn a small language, you must go to the destination country in order to use it accurately and skillfully. This is only the first year of high school, my friend. You don't have to be so nervous. Then report a language you like!
