I mean the whole school I went through kept nailing in our heads how much a foreign language would benefit you. I guess this went under the noses of whoever like teaching kids to balance a checkbook.

    In Canada when I was growing up, if you didnt take french immersion, they made you take 1 french language class a year up until grade 10.

    They also taught Japanese in my highschool and for senior year if you’d taken them all you could go on a trip to Japan.

      Same experience for me. Once in highschool (at an English speaking school) you could choose to branch off from French and learn either Spanish or Japanese (or all the above) if you wanted to.
