11°/12° curso del colegio/instituto/bachillerato


Explanation:
Lo que pasa con esta traducción, sin embargo, es que cada uno de los países hispanohablantes tiene un sistema educacional diferente. Esto es como decir "11th or 12th grade", pero si buscas equivalencia, tendrías que investigar el sistema educacional del país del público objetivo.

9th Grade is known as Freshman Year.
10th Grade is known as Sophomore Year.
11th Grade is known as Junior Year.
12th Grade is known as Senior Year.

.... Cuando digo \"escuela no americana\" me refiero más que nada a Argentina y Uruguay.

agree  Becky Spangle: Explained very well, but why do you add "no americana"? These ARE the third and second years in American schools.
53 mins
  -> I meant "non American" schools. Here in the US people don't say "second year" or "third year" to refer to 10th & 11th grades...... people say "sophomore" and "junior", or cite the grade. Tx

neutral  Carolingua: en la respuesta arriba: no es tercer/cuarto año sino segundo/tercero--I think that's what you meant to write above though, given that your explanations were correct...
