Spanish II is the modal sophomore language (32%), the continuation for students who started in 9th grade. The large Spanish I share (20%) shows that many students begin their language in 10th.
Sophomore year is where continuing to level II matters. Latin II and French II mark the students staying with one language, the pattern that builds toward the three or four years selective colleges reward.
Starting now is fine, but the clock matters. A 10th-grade start can still reach level III by senior year; a 9th-grade start reaches level IV. Either way, staying with a single language beats switching.
Most commonly Spanish, at level II for those who started in 9th and level I for those beginning the language now.
No, but starting by 9th makes it easier to reach the third and fourth year that selective colleges prefer.
