I take Putonghua.
It's not my second language though, since my mother tongue is Cantonese and my second language is... English. ermm.gif

It was too late for me to start taking French last year. Boo @ school.

I took Spanish and Latin for two years each in NY. 'Twas fun; I had 90s or a 100 in those classes. :D

J'etudie le francais a l'ecole depuis trois ans, et je l'adore beaucoup, particulierement la culture francaise. Mais maintenant, je ne parle qu'un tres petit peu de francais...et ma grammaire est horrible! Dans l'ecole, nous etudions beaucoup beaucoup de vocabulaire, mais, ou est la grammaire dans nos lecons?!

Et je suis des Etats Unis. Je veux aller a Canada pour communiquer avec des etudiants qui parlent facilement le francais. Pourquoi est-ce que les etudiants de la programme er... [immersion] sont des problemes pour toi? C'est une bonne opportunite pour ameliorer ton francais.

Et aussi, je parle le chinois. Je desire que j'aille etudier l'[arabic] a l'avenir.

(I don't know how to insert accents.)

I take Spanish II right now, it's required to graduate that you have 2 credits of a foreign language. It's really fun, I have the best spanish teacher I think there is. She really gets into it, she does speack in all spanish, but she makes it easy to understand. I don't know what the rest of those things are, so I don't think we do them.

I took Spanish all through middle school and highschool.
And sadly I don't remember too much of it now.
robynleigh626
I'm taking Spanish.
I don't like it very much, though.
I'm only taking it the three years I need to graduate.
I wish my school offered languages besides Spanish and French...
not_your_average
I'm probably going to change my language next year. Spanish is fun, but I really want to take French.

She wants to go to Canada so she can converse with the french students here.
*crosses fingers* Hopefully I'm right. pinch.gif

I took french from grade 1 until grade 9.
I despised it. I passed french & declined to take it in grade 10 & above.
Also could have taken Spanish, but that seemed to complicated for meh.
I have trouble with english, let alone French or Spanish. =P
aicilah999

tanichick

Japanese and Spanish
parallel
I take Japanese.
I was surprised because it's reallllyyy easy too.

Well, my school is named German Swiss International School.

So - surprise, surprise - everyone starts learning German in Year Two. That's around six or seven years old.

Then, you may choose French or Mandarin when you enter Year Seven. That's when you're around eleven.

I take IB German. I already speak it, because my father's German, but it's still kind of hard learning proper grammar and stuff, 'cause I speak ghetto Rheinland-Pfalz German. My IB oral was last week.
cloudprincess92

Spanish 2. In my freshman year, I will be taking 3.
MiSSxMELON
I'm in my second year of German. It's a fairly easy language to learn if you ask me, since it's so similar to English.
I speak and understand Chinese, too.
And I know like, words and phrases from various languages (Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Vietnamese) but I'm totally not fluent.
xMayleex
Our second language is Welsh in school .. gah and you can't drop it so your stuck taking it 5 years .. we also have Spanish and French.

I want to get a tutor so I can learn more languages lol, I speak Thai pretty well .. my reading is sorta alright but being half Thai I'm expected to be able to speak it but I seriously want to learn Japanese lol, I have learnt a little but still a long way to go =D
Paulina
Espanol for me. I'm only in my first year though.
nopattern
i have to take a language next year. and unfortuantly for me, they only have spanish. i really wanted to learn french
Looow
i'm sure i responded in here before but who cares.

i'm taking Spanish for Spanish Speakers I.

next year i'll be taking the high level Spanish for Spanish Speakers II.

i might take A.P spanish but i heard its boring n its actually easier than the SSS class.
july-eighth
From Kindergarten to 8th grade, I've had to Spanish class. I didn't really learn anything, considering the only good teacher I had was when I was younger (and I have forgotten over the years things other than the basics).

Now in high school, I take French because I definitely don't want to take Spanish anymore.
... And I envy all you German-learning students. If my school had languages other than French or Spanish, I would have so taken German. stubborn.gif
faded23
The only foreign language we have is Spanish.



Scratch that, we also have Sign Language, but not enough people have ever signed up for it.
maryissa
I'll be taking Spanish when i go to highschool.
SarahxJoy
I'm finishing this school year with French II H, and when I took it last year (French I), I wasn't fluent at all. French was (and pretty much still is) a new language to me.

Next year I'll still take it (French III H).

If they were offering Japanese like they said they would during my freshman year, then I would have been taking that though. ermm.gif Gah.
jenn_jenny
spanish.
but theres french, spanish, and jap.
pshh, there should be more choices dammit. :[
SarahxJoy
^ I WISH we had Japanese. _dry.gif

All we've got is French, Spanish, Italian, and German.

Italian!? Lucky S.O.B. We only have French, Spanish, and German at my school.

I'm currently taking French III this trimester, but last trimester I was in Spanish III. I love the art of the tongue. happy.gif
EddieV
Spanish I guess...
timeflies51
I'm taking Spanish right now, and next year I'm going to also take Latin. We also have French and German offered at my school.

I'm also interested in Italian, but since the school doesn't offer that language, maybe I'll get one of those computer programs. Someone is teaching themselves Japanese through one of those.

(EDIT)


Actually, I'm going to take Latin in two years. I'm going to teach myself Italian next year along with Spanish at school, and I thought that learning three languages at once was a little much.
Crich323
The only other languages (besides English) my school offers are Spanish and French. ((That shows how small of a school I go to))

I'll be taking French 1 & 2 next year.
EMELYYxo
I already have Spanish down pat so didn't have to take it but I took French since grade 1 and I stopped in grade 10. So I'm okay.
much2muse
we dont have ap or ib for anything. we have college prep for some stuff...

my school sucks.

anyway, i'm in french II and i cannot speak at all fluently. i blame my teacher and short term memory. laugh.gif
radhikaeatsraman
My school offers Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, ASL, Latin, and Arabic. There's also a demand for Hindi, but that's not a course (yet.) x]

But I'm taking Spanish 2 next year.
Gypsy Eyes
I take French and ASL and I'm starting Italian next year.

Japanese is a pretty useful language; I wish I had more time to study that. I wouldn't mind visiting (possibly even working in) Japan someday.
