hello everyone. I'm trying to plan my courses for next year, and I figured that I have room to take a foreign class (plus it's a requirement for me to graduate). now, I'm trying to decide to which one to take.
i really want to learn mandarin, if nothing else matters, that is what I would take. however, i heard that (certain?) math graduate programs require students to have a mastery of either german or russian. to meet that requirement i would have to take either one, instead of mandarin.
what would you recommend for me to do? should i go for mandarin or german/russian? or is it possible that i take an undergraduate foreign language sequence in grad school? so that i can take mandarin now, and just take german/russian at whatever school i end up at/
