Hey everyone! I've been teaching myself Japanese for the past couple of years, and I'm wondering if this could be considered an extracurricular activity for college applications. What do you think? Thanks!
Hi there! Absolutely, teaching yourself a language can be considered an extracurricular activity on your college applications. Colleges appreciate seeing your dedication and passion for independent learning, which teaching yourself a language definitely demonstrates.
To make it stand out on your application, you could mention specific resources you used or milestones you achieved, like completing a certain level on a language app, reading an entire book in Japanese, or engaging in conversation practice with native speakers.
Best of luck with your college applications, and keep up the great work with your Japanese studies!
