Foreign languages in elementary school and high school

In Canada,it is compulsory to learn french,I was forced to learn this in school from grade 7 and was actually suspended for constantly correcting the teacher. You see,the french we had to learn was french canadian,not European French. I find learning other languages quite easy at times as well as fun. I did learn True French when I traveled to Paris when young,and that was my reason for correcting the teachers.

I tired Spanish in the 7 and 8 grade but It wasn't easy for me and then in went to university and I had to learn because it was in a Latin country. I believe not everyone wants it, and not everyone needs it so being optional in school works.

Hi Porcospino, I'm from the Philippines, here there are private elemantary and secondary schools that gives you an option to take foreign language classes but it's not compulsory. I would love to learn other language if given a chance. In college, we have spanish, mandarin and other subject that has to be taken though.

Hi Porcospino!. I learn in English junior high but this day they teach it from elementary school. they start to learn from a very basic like number and alphabetic. I think kids this day has better English than I in thats age. Many of them got English course since they were in elementary school. I personally never take any English course because at those time is a necessity. I just lucky meet a great teacher in high school who made interesting in English.

I leanred English as my second language when I was in the second or third grade of elementary. In our educational system, it is compulsary and an integral part of our education. One of the medium of instruction in my country is our mother tongue and English. Right now, the youth is more adapatable to the English language rather than in the mother tongue. I have to say that I liked and envy the system of your country. I wanted to learn other languages for a long time but can't find a good school and a good time to actually learn intensely. Our people have traces of conversational Spanish but it is the adults who often use the language while the youth uses the English language.

At my high school, we have to pick a foreign language, I choose Spanish. When I go to college, I also pick Spanish, one of the easiest language to learn within my country. So, yes, it is compulsory to learn a foreign language here.

Hi, Porcospino! You have a wonderful tradition in Denmark. I love to learn foreign languages, I think that this is a real wealth. My country is Bulgaria and years ago the first foreign language from the 3rd grade was Russian and later we had another - "western" language - English, German or French. But we had many oportunities outside of school. I've learned french since I was 6 years old and in the secondary school I began to learn also English. Now there are various possibilities and many children learn two foreign languages.
