Question

I know they have many options, what are their options?

Answer 1

English

Answer 2

1. Malayalam
2. Tamil
3. Tagalo
4. Punjabi

The population of above mentioned languages are increasing day by day and the native Amrericans should be taught in the school level for a convenient understanding as they immediately start speaking in these langauage on seeing some one!!!

But the problem here is, once they start learning these langauages, the political leaders in the places where these langauges are prominent will claim & boast that it was the result of their a long time struggle and Americans are forced to accept their demands. Also they will call it as an achievement and ask for vote in the general elections.

But in US following are taught according to settler's population:
1. French
2. Hebrew
3. Latin
4. Spanish
5. Arabic

Answer 3

Now Speak - - - current slang, can vary by region but the Internet & music sort of level the playing field. Simply due to the sheer numbers involved the top three 'foreign' languages are most likely Spanish, Chinese, French and one could argue Japanese and German float around because of the job opportunities. But go on any College Campus and what you will find is a World Speak of tongues because most student types like to talk wand will communicate irregardless of barriers. Sign Language is also quite common. Peace.

Answer 4

It varies widely by area of the country and availibility of teachers.
Spanish is currently the most popular second language
French
German
Latin (yes, still around)
Japanese
Chinese is increasing
Arabic in a few places
Italian is taught in some parts of the country
Russian was widely taught in the 60s, but is offered far less often today.
American Sign Language is being offered as a second language in some areas.
You could contact ACTFL (the american council on the teaching of foreign langauges) for some of their research, if you are seriously interested.
Our high school offers (in order of popularity)
Spanish
French
German
Japanese

Hebrew

Answer 5

I agree, it depends on what school you go to. My middle/high school offered Spanish, German and French. German and Spanish were more popular than French. Some other schools offer Latin, Russian, etc. It also tends to vary with what the teachers/administrators and the U.S. governments feels are more necessary. For example, during the Cold War, Russian language was a very popular one and was taught in more high schools. A lot of schools now, especially private schools, tend to offer Chinese, Arabic and Japanese.

It also depends on what the student wishes to do. For example, if you're planning on working in various organizations within the U.S. (especially the service industry), it would probably help if you chose Spanish. On the other hand, if you'd like to work for many international non-profits, French is still a desireable language, especially for the U.N.

Answer 6

English

Answer 7

In my school district, you are forced to take 2 years of a language in school, or else you cannot graduate. Those languages are typically Spanish and French. I'm not positive, but I believe that you can actually go to the community college here, and take another foreign language to get high school credits. They have a much wider option of languages, but it costs money. Their choices are Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Hebrew, Portuguese, and a few more that I can't remember.

I took two years of Spanish in school, and I'm still learning it. After I finish Spanish, I'll probably learn Japanese.

Answer 8

Obviously English isn't your first, second, third of fourth language so I'd keep to the basic phonics. If you know they have many options, why ask what their options are when you say there are many more than you can currently grasp? K-Fed, that's the best right now!

Answer 9

I teach languages in a high school. Most schools offer Spanish (the most popular), French, Latin and German. The enrollment in German seems to declining.
Some schools may also offer Japanese, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Arabic. The schools that offer these languages are not many. If a student is Greek or Chinese for example, it is possible for them to go to "Greek school" after school hours. My son's best friend goes to Chinese school after school.
