I studied Spanish, French, Koine Greek, and OT Hebrew in high school, college, and graduate school respectively. Currently, I don't recall very much from any of them. That makes me sad. I wish I had realized how important languages are 15 years ago. Edited by jasoninchina on 09 August 2010 at 5:54am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Oh and at university in NZ you find all of the above languages, including NZ Sign Language, Italian, Korean, Portuguese Latin, Greek, Old & Middle English and Pacific Island languages especially Samoan. My uni cut its Arabic department :( I don't remember meeting anyone studying any other languages but I'm sure there are various others which are possible, if not common.

Short list: French, Spanish, Latin
Let's see here... I started with Spanish in elementary school, learned it for a year and a half before I switched schools because one closer to my house was finished. I learned French (I remember a few words) until I moved right at the end of 4th grade. I then learned Spanish (didn't learn a thing) until I graduated to middle school where I didn't take a language class (it wasn't required). In high school I took three years of Latin, and learned very little (my first teacher didn't teach, which was cool because I didn't really care to learn, then we got a real teacher). I'm going into my senior year and I'm not taking a language class next year. I might take one in college if it's not a requirement. Oh yeah and in high school I picked up some Spanish (mainly obscenities) from my Hispanic friends, even before I cared to learn languages.

I studied French and Spanish in high school, as they were the only two languages offered, and I had to beg them to allow me to take both. In college, I continued with French and took classes in Chinese, German and Russian as well.

I studied French from year 7 (year 1 of secondary school) and then German in year 8. German lasted until year 9 while French survived my GCSEs in year 10. I quite disliked both, which is rather unfortunate as I'm very keen on them now. Technically I suppose I learned Latin, due to my Double-Masters-Oxford-Philosophy-graduate-deputy-head-extinc t-language-fanatic general studies teacher trying to get us passionate about Latin. I don't think it rubbed off on anybody aged 14, much to his dismay.

Studying: English, German
Studied: French, Latin Generally you study either English+Russian or English+German (OR if you're lucky - English+French) in the middle school and continue with them in high school. You also have the option of choosing a third foreign language. Mine is French but sadly they stopped offering the course last year. Latin is just something my school decided to teach us because we're a human sciences class. None of us picked up much because it was such a short course (just 30 lessons).
