I have been told that one year of high school foreign language is supposed to translate to one semester of college foreign language. One option is for DS/DD to take 4th semester of the language at the local community college under dual enrollment over the summer, in which case there would be no acceleration.
Previously when four years of a language in high school were typical, the student would mostly be placed in the 3rd year college course. I am not sure what completing year 5 and 6 would mean these days.
