My school offers French and Spanish only. I think there should be a bit more of a selection in High school. Now that I'm bumped up to level three in 9th grade, in 12th grade, I would have already completed the last level in Spanish the year prior, there should be other selections of languages to take for kicks or a challenge.
I think there should be:
Spanish(already here)
Italian
An asian language or two, (maybe chinese and japanese)
Arabic

In my high school, we have the choice of Italian, Spanish, and Latin. I would much more prefer something like German, but oh well.

My school offers for years 11 and 12:
HSC:
English standard/advanced/extension/extension 2 for year 12 (as first language, compulsory)
French continuers
Japanese for beginners
German (I think it's for continuers, they ought to specify it if it's specified for Japanese and French)
Latin (I think it's for continuers, again, I think they should specify it)
Indonesian preliminary / HSC (HSC at year 11 would be acceleration, but there are people who do that)
IB:
English SL / HL (first language, compulsory)
French ab initio / SL
Italian ab initio
Japanese ab initio
Latin SL
Mandarin ab initio
German SL / HL
Indonesian (year 12 only, or may be it means year 12 level in year 11, I don't know)
Not sure about the other years, but English is definitely compulsory, and I think there's French, German, and Latin.
I think it's a bit unfair that the IB people get more to choose from. Of course, I think there are some that no one actually chose, but still.

in my school, we are not offerered any languages. we are obligated to take english since preschool, and we take one year of french. we learn spanish because i'm from puerto rico. it sucks. i wish i could take electives. i mean, my school is a pirvate school , but they don't have actual electives. i wish we could learn languages such as,
german
russian
french
japanese
italian
dutch
the list goes on and on...
this helps us in many ways. it could serve for the future and it's good exercise for our brains. i don't know.

At my school you have to take english for four years and french for one in order to graduate. They also have spanish, due to popular demand. I would like them to teach latin or greek but they don't, although I know that at other schools in the board you can take latin, greek (modern and anceint), german, dutch, japanese, swahili (sp?)

I believe that schools should offer the languages usedin the U.N.: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. If they want us to be global citizens then these should be offered.
I know that other languages are very important but at times it is going to be difficult to teach tagalog in Tulsa, OK., for example. The community may be there but to teach it to school kids & you (the teacher) have a license for it...you'd first approach colleges to teach because the money is better, unless your heart is truly for the children.
In my high school we only had German and Spanish. My senior year they offered French for the first time because a teacher who worked there also knew French.
I took Japanese in college but now being in the same state...it seems that all the Japanese are either in the most western city or the most southern city in the state. Either way is 5 hours away. @_@
I think that if our school systems (at least in the US) were more organized that more languages could be offered and those in college willing to teach languages after they graduate weretreated like real teachers who can contribute to the education of kids...things would get off to a great start. {More money for teachers and language programs please!}

If teachers were paid more, they'd be more motivated in doing their jobs. 3nodding

I get homeschooled... So I don't get a teacher. sad I just learn from the net... sweatdrop Well I think the schools around here offer:
French
Japanese
Italian
Spanish
Chinese
...I think that's it... sweatdrop
I think they should have Korean, though. 3nodding Korean is very easy, especially if you know Japanese. They both have the same kinda grammar... But Korean doesn't have kanji. *_* Lol. It's a really pretty language, too.

My former school had:
Danish (1. language = Must)
English (2. language = Must)
German (3. language)
French (If enough people in one year wanted it)
You had to have either Germ. or French or a third class, like PE or something.
In college we have:
Danish (1. language = Must)
English (2. language = Must)
German (3. language)
French (3. language)
Spanish (3. language)
Latin (Must the first year)
You have to choose one of the three or you cant get in.
I was forced to take German because I have family in Germany. I wanted to have Spanish, but... yeah...

My school only offers Spanish.
It probably has an English as a second language class, but I've honestly never seen/heard of it. We have a few hispanic students, but other than that there's very little diversity where I live. :/
