Second Foreign Language
Your second foreign language can be chosen from either European or Asian languages:
– If you choose a European language (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish), you must have prior knowledge of the language.
– If you choose an Asian language (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian), you may start as a complete beginner (A0) or with prior knowledge.
