Mine offers English. >.< But then again I'm home-schooled. The high school here offer English and Spanish and maybe French... But since I won't be going there it doesn't matter much...

English (Mandatory), Spanish, French and Italian.

I just think they should offer other languages besides the three "romance" languages. Maybe more people would take it seriously if there was a language there for them that they actually cared about.

Sad to say, but my school only offers English(mandatory), French(at least once in high school) and Spanish, since it's a fairly new school.

What I'd like offered is:
-German
-Latin
-Mandarin
-Korean

My school offers classes in:

-Spanish
-Latin
-Japanese
-Russian
-Hebrew
-Greek
-Mandarin
-French
-German
(I think that's all)

It is a university though so they have ti keep as many options open as possible. However, I think that starting from a young age, elementary or even kinder garden, students should be taught those languages that most affect their lives. So in America since they are next to Mexico Spanish should be a mandatory language, I doubt French applies much for the Canadian since they too speak English although having it as an elective from a young age should be possible. Then there is also the religious to consider most want to have strong bases for their faith and should therefore be able to at least read what they believe therefore Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arab, Hindi, and Japanese should be available if not in schools at least in their nearest church or temple.

In Toronto, all schools will have French, and I believe Spanish. Some have Latin. Fewer have Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and German, I believe. Night school/weekend courses are available for Chinese, Japanese, Farsi and quite a few more languages.

I think in Canada we need to start our French education earlier. I started learning French in grade 3 (realllyyy basic stuff, but still French nonetheless), but now students don't start until anywhere from grade 4 to grade 6. (Not too sure.)

I wish my school offered more than just French and Spanish.

Our school offers French, German and Spanish. There are Mandarin lunchtime and after school lessons, as well as after-school Italian sessions. A Japanese lunch-time thing is gonna start soon too. There was gonna be a Gujarati circle for native speakers, but dunno if that actually happened. There are also different sessions for the main European languages - like, "business French" or something like that, after school. My school is also a languages college you see.

Our school offers:

-finnish (first language)
-english (second)
-swedish (third???)
-german
-french
-russian
-spanish
-arabic
-latin (but just if there's enough students)

I'd really want to have japanese and mandarin chinese in our school. From those finnish, english and swedish are cumpulsory. I'm taking french as optional.

My school offers Spanish, French, and German. What I found out was another school in the area offered all of these languages:

American Sign Language
Arabic
Hindi
Spanish
Vietnamese
Mandarin Chinese
Japanese
French
German
Latin

Why couldn't I have gone to that school??? gonk

It's too late to transfer out. I'm not gonna leave my school at this point of my school life in order to learn a few (but deeply desired) languages. sad

My school offers English,German,Russian and Bulgarian(native language)
I think that most schools(worldwide) should teach some kind of a slavic language, because half of europe and asia could understand that
