My school offers these clases:
English (mother language)
Spanish (through AP)
French (I believe through AP, but I could be wrong...)
I think my school should offer some of the other languages that are widely spoken in my city. My city is very multi-cultural, so obviously they couldn't teach all of the languages commonly heard in my city, but here are a few of the languages that I think they should offer:
Vietnamese
Albanian
Polish
Portugese
Cambodian

My school ONLY offers French or Spanish. Everyone speaks English as their first language in my school, so there isn't much that we can do.
I think they should offer:
Latin - Its a base language!
German - Great for economic affairs
Chinese - Future superpower (and its fun)

My school offers French, German and Spanish (and Latin to really clever people like me biggrin , however I hated it and found it really pointless so dropped it as soon as possible sweatdrop )
My sister's school is also a language college so they offer French, German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian and probably some others which I've forgotten.
I think that schools should offer English, Chinese, Spanish and Arabic (all being widely spoken world languages), languages spoken by neighbouring countries (e.g. French and Irish in Britain), native languages (e.g. Welsh in Wales), and other popular lanaguages that students may want to learn out of insterest or for use in later life (e.g. Japanese is useful for business)

My school offers Spanish and French, not counting English (the only people who don't speak English as their first language are exchange students.)
I think my school should teach Japanese, German, Russian, Latin, and lots of other languages. My school is really small though, and we're in Vermont, the land where there are never any foreigners. It's times like this I wish I lived in Europe, or somewhere bigger.
Basically, my story is the same as ValaRamaro's

Proudly_Jewish My school offers: Englsh (mother tongue, mandatory) French (2nd language, mandatory) Spanish Hebrew What it doesn't offer but should offer, in my opinion: German - because it's oen of those "big" languages... Russian - because there are a lot of Russians at my school Latin - because every English-speaking person can benefit from some Latin Japanese... because I need help with those goddamn kanji, lol rofl Mandatory French? Aww that sucks. I'm doing it next year at school but by choice. Beats maths! Lol.

My school teaches us two languages: Filipino and English. Actually, most of us can understand English but can't speak and write it well. That's the problem that my school accentuated so we're currently having this English Campain wherein you're suppose to speak in English in our classes that uses it as a dialect and during our free time. We hated it because if we blurt out a word in Filipino (a language we use in our everyday life, and as you are already aware of, a language we normally speak) we are going to receive a punishment like reporting a trivia infront of the class (in Engish) or something else that might be even worse. stare

Had great choice when I was at school.
French... and they didn't tell you it wasn't mandatory. So many who didn't want to do it, did (me included).
However IF you were good enough at French (top set only), you had the choice of being able to do German.
My French was pathetic, so I asked if I could do German instead and that I had more use for it (my niece that lives in Germany). They told me no because I wasn't in the top set for French.
The connection is.......? The two languages have differnet roots. And German is closer to English than French, thus many may have found it easier.
When I started learning German on my own, I certainly found it 10 times easier than French (still do and I did give French a serious try for my b/f).
Oh and after the mandatory education, there was one other language course in the area - Spanish. I did do 3 months of the course, but had to give up because my hips got too bad to walk once mid December came (that was two years ago).
I wish people had more choice where I lived in the UK.

Czech should be a language taught in schools but it is not a very regional language
