Hello, Please can I ask about your website. I'm a young adult who has just finished further education - sports science. I'm now seeking to expand upon this for various reasons & I've been seeking a website to advertise myself in effect yet it seems to be a struggle to find such a site. I'm seeking to advertise myself not only in the UK but internationally for digital online work such as transcribing or such like. At the moment I am currently studying to gain a secondary language - Spanish via edX also. Any advice would be most welcome.
Main aim is for my CV, I want to appeal to international stages and organizations. One issue is here in the UK the education and work system especially if your on sick leave or such is very difficult due to our poor infrastructure

How much do colleges actually care about seeing 4 years of language classes?
I’m conflicted with planning the rest of my high school schedule. I am looking into college for either an area of history or film which I know are two very different options. I’ve also been looking into combining these two with a job as a documentarian. I have currently been contemplating either continuing the 3rd and 4th years of my language or opting to be in other arts and portfolio classes that could help me when applying to art/film school. I’ve definitely been looking into uofmich as I live in Michigan but I’m really not even sure if it would be worth going there if I just want a film degree I could get somewhere else. I’m currently planing on taking an almost fully DP course schedule, the only things that would be non-DP would be my choir class and my Language/Portfolio arts class. Would it be smarter to keep my options open in college admissions and just take my 4 year language, or should I just go into the arts classes I actually want to take? How much do colleges really care about seeing a 4 year language?

What resources are out there for learning Hebrew?
Hello! I am a freshman in high school and I am very passionate about learning foreign languages. I’m considering a career in linguistics when I am older, but I have hit a bit of a road block. I managed to teach myself Spanish to fluency over the past two years. I had access to books in Spanish, movies in Spanish, and a lot of my friends also speak Spanish. These resources allowed me to become proficient in the language however Hebrew is a different story. The only method I’ve been using to learn Hebrew is Duolingo, but that can only get you so far. How do I become fluent in Hebrew with so few resources at my dispense?

What is the best language to learn as a beginner to becoming bilingual if English is your first language ?
I am a freshman in high school the end of the year is this Thursday, the last day of school. I decided to learn a new language over the summer since I would like to become a nurse or travel nurse, or just something that allows me to help others as much as possible. However I have struggled with keeping a consistent schedule for learning the languages I really want to learn and some of them are a bit complex so I was wondering what language I should start with before I move on to the languages I really want to learn. The languages I have previously tried learning are Korean Spanish Thai and French. Those are just some I have tried, I want to learn more but those are the ones I want to start with.

TorontoWhat are free ways to learn Korean?
I have a dream of visiting Korea and taking dance classes, going to a concert, and whatnot. Yes, I am one of those people who like k-pop and the culture. Literally so amazing. First, before I do travel to Korea, I have to learn Korean, but anyway I have tried, and it hasn't stuck in my head. I want to travel to Korea when I am 18, but whenever I try to learn Korean, it never sticks in my head/brain. #CV23
