I'm still in Icelandic classes (seeing as it's my native language), but I'm also taking English, French and just got an advanced level in Danish (though I can really only read it, speaking it isn't my forte).

Hmm... maybe I should take Icelandic so that I can understand Sigur Ros.
In middle school I took French and found it boring as hell. In high school I took two years of Spanish and found it boring as hell. Currently in college I'm taking Japanese which I'm actually finding pretty interesting.
It's become my opinion over the past month that the Romance languages are the most boring languages a person could choose to study. It's probably part of the reason why Americans don't try to learn a second language; they're only exposed to the usual French and Spanish during school (and maybe German). Our schools need to start diversifying their language options. Instead of offering nothing but European languages they should at least throw in an Eastern language like Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, or Russian.
I didn't take a language class in high school. I took multiple art classes instead. But I'm probably going to take Spanish during my next semester of College
I've been taking french since grade 1. Since I'm in my second year of college now, that makes a grand total if 12 years of french, and I still suck at it! Je suis tres fache parce que je n'aime pas le francais.

I took French from grades 5 to 9. I took two years of university level Japanese. And plan on doing some kind of Masters or graduate program in Sanskrit in the future at some point.

Pourquoi est-ce que tu n'aimes pas le francais? Parce que ma francais est tres mal, et les person francais rire a moi quand je parle en francais. +1 croissant if you can understand my terrible french.

Parce que ma francais est tres mal, et les person francais rire a moi quand je parle en francais. +1 croissant if you can understand my terrible french. Ca, c'est triste :( I'm still learning French, so I could be wrong here, but you'd want to say "mon francais" since French, the language, is masculine. Also, I think you'd want to use "mauvais" instead of "mal". Use "personnes". Remember, 'people' is plural. You want to conjugate "rire" to 'rient'. And I don't think you'd use "en" since that generally refers to a quantity previously mentioned. So: "Parce que mon francais est tres mauvais, et les personnes francais rient a moi quand je parle francais." :)

You won't really understand them even if you become fluent in the language. I sure don't.
I'm from Spain. Here, the English is one of the main and bligatory subjects at schools. I studied french for 4 years. Now, I'm studying arabic and chinese.

I didn't take any language in high school since I was able waive the Spanish requirement because I already speak it. I'm in Italy this year studying Italian in Florence though so that rocks.
in elementary school, they made everyone take chinese because they thought it was the most talked foreign language in america. and i took 2 years of spanish in high school and i still don't know much.
I took a french class at school, and judging by my grades, I was very good at it, once I left school, I forgot everything they thought me, I cant remember a single word in French
Three years of German, five years of French. Then one month of Ancient Greek at uni, before I realised that I wasn't going to catch up with all the Greek people in the class.
I'm currently taking Koine Greek so that I can read the original language of the New Testament. I've also had two semesters of Biblical Hebrew and Spanish.
