I've never taken a foreign lang. Save for one month in third grade, but I have to take Spanish I and II next year in 10th grade.

If you want to attend a 4 year college you will need two more years of passing spanish class, so after sophomore year, you will be done. But if you don't attend a 4 year college, you may not need another year after 8th grade depending on what you do.

I live in San Diego, and it is a necessity to learn Spanish. I live in the Stairway to Heaven for illegal immigrants. However, you only take it in High School, either Freshman or Sophomore year.

What college do you want to go to?  Most selective colleges require at least three years of one language and they usually like to see that you took a language every year of high school... not different languages but higher levels of the same language.  If you hate Spanish I suggest you pick a new language for ninth grade and stick with it.  Honestly though, Spanish is the easiest foreign language that most schools offer (unless you already know one of the other foreign languages) because there are generally a crap load of Spanish kids in most schools that you can have help you with your homework.

in Canada you have to be biligual in order to get a decent job. English and French is huge here. So consider yourself lucky its an option for you guys.

Depends on the school, although a lot of students can't even get one language right, and certainly shouldn't be trying to learn two.

Meh. That depends on the nature of the work and where you live in Canada. I am certainly not fluently bilingual and get by just fine.

You have to take two years of it in high school and two years in college (or just four years in high school).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, heaven forbid Americans expand their minds and develop an understanding of foreign language and culture. :roll: Even if you never use the language in your life, learning it is an excellent intellectual exercise.

If you want a government job... 9 times out of 10 you need biligualism.

If you want to work in most professional fields in Ontario, quebec, New brunswick or NFLD, then bilingualism is a must.
