0.1.1: Path to Proficiency
Why is it called a path to proficiency? Just like any trip you take, there is a starting point, an end destination, and a journey in between. You don't magically wake up at your desired destination. The same is true with learning a foreign language. You will not be fluent after one semester of Spanish. However, there will be many things you can do at a novice level! It's important to think about your goal for learning a new language (career, family, friends, travel, etc) and know what it will take to achieve that goal.
Take a look at the path you will travel during your classes here at Butler Community College:

In summary, you should be at a minimum Novice Mid level by the end of FL107, Novice High by the end of FL108, and Intermediate Low by the end of FL201.
Remember that these are minimums , and that with effort and dedication, you can surpass the recommended levels in any given class.
