My high school only offers French and Spanish, but I've taken college courses at our local university over the past few years for German. I plan to do Latin and Italian soon....

But any school should offer the main languages of the world:

Spanish
French
German
Italian
Chinese
Japanese
Latin (though extinct.)

Latin
German
Spanish
French
Chinese
Japanese
Italian
Russian

I'd love it if schools could offer as many languages as possible. The school I am going to go to only has English, German and French (apart from Hungarian of course.)

Schools should have:
- English
- German
- Latin
- French
- Spanish
- Russian
- Chinese
- Arabic
- Japanese

I'd have to say:

French
German
Spanish
Italian
Chinese
Japanese
and Punjabi (in certain areas)

My school only has French and Spanish, aside from the mandatory English. It stinks.

My first school offered French, German and Spanish (I took German)... and of course English. But that was no choice.
The school I'm in now (which ain't a school, it's a gymnasium but whatever) offers Spanish, Italian, German ( I took that for a year but now I'm just reading Japanese so I should quit the guild), French, Japanese, Russian and... I don't know the name but it's when you talk with your hands (I'm SOO going to learn that).
We have asked for Lation too. If we could get them to give us Japanese-lessons, then we should bea ble to make them learn us Latin aswell 3nodding

The languages a school should offer: German, French... English

The school I'm going to offers French and Spanish. Oddly, the school closer to my home has French, Spanish, German, Vietnamese (but only if the student already knows it...), and I think they have Chinese.

It'd be better if schools taught any language that the student wanted. Like a limit-less class thing. But that would be expensive... sweatdrop

My school offers: Russian, German, English, Swedish and French.

What it should offer, in my opinion: Spanish and Sami.

Sami because it is the aboriginal language of Finland, and I think we should be learning it instead of that darn Swedish.

However far the school's budget can stretch. I think however there should be some basics.

French
English
German
Spanish
Latin

My school offers Spanish, French, German, and Latin.

All those are good to have, but a wider variety would be nice. I think Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic would be important to know. Portuguese and Tagalog would be nice too. There's a surprising amount of Filipinos where I live so I would probably do Tagalog after I become completely fluent in Spanish.

My school offers

French
Spanish
Latin
Mohawk (Native Language) We live close to a reserve

Languages that other schools in my region I've attended offer

Mandarin
Italian
Portuguese
Polish
German
Japanese

I think that if a teacher knows how to speak it fluently they should be able to offer it.

Most schools outside of the Cities (in my state anyway) can't get Language teachers easily, so the languaeg taught is whatever teh teacher they can get prefers.

I would like to see Esperanto taught as a gateway langauge, this is being done in some schools in the UK and South & Western Australia.

I studied French, German and Latin and recall almost none of it.

I wish Anglophone nations took Langauge more seriously, sigh.

My school has English and Spanish taught by actual teachers. I know that sounds weird but our other languages; Latin, French and German; are taught either on a computer or over distance learning. Let me explain distance learning for those of you may not know. Two (or more) schools are connected by computer which allow cameras and microphones to be placed in both rooms and used by the classes. So my German class my and teacher is on a T.V. screen everyday. I think the worst thing about it is that you can see yourself. I hate that! But, I digress.

I'm really not sure what schools should teach. Every region has a different demand of what languages are needed.

the level 4 spanish teacher in my school last year left and they never bothered to replace her and just dropped level 4 completely X.X ..i heard we used to have German at one point but not since i've been there.. all we've got is spanish1-3, italian 1-4, french1-3 and latin for a select few..

i'd really love to see some of the asian languages taught in more schools.. and german and russian too..but i guess the languages taught should vary with the location..edit: actually, that point was already mentioned sweatdrop well then, i agree with it.
