do you think that is ok that we have to learn more than three languges at school ?

Answer 1

I think it would be benefitial for children to learn more than one or two languages, because the younger you are when you start learning, the easier it is and the more you retain.
Whe you grow up and want a job, espec ially if you want to get to travel with it, the languages you speak will be a big advantage over other candidates.
However, i do think one or two languages should be compulsory in school, anything more than that should be a choice for the kids/their parents.
It's like playing instruments, it would be ideal to be taught all of them in school, but not realistic or practical, you would not have time to get on with other important subjects.
Languages require lots of work and practice, while in school you're very busy with other things, so I don't think you could really dedicate the necessary time to each language.
At the end of the day, you are a kid and school is important, but having fun during those years comes first!

Answer 2

Counting English, I took 5 in Highschool
5 HS French Credits, 1 College PSEO
4 HS Spanish Credits, 4 Years in Middle School
3 HS German Credits, Senior Year Student Aid
1 year with the Latin Club.

Never had any problem, except once I mixed up Spanish Gato and French Gateau
Cat and Cake. But this was right after my summer french class on the first day of Spanish.

Let them eat Cat! hehehe

Answer 3

That seems like a lot to me to require. But it depends on where you are located. I'm in the US, and here, we usually only require 1 other language besides English. But in the US, you really don't need much more than that.

But if you live in Europe, for example, you are better off to learn more languages, because people speak so many different languages in Europe. You are more likely to encounter someone who speaks a different language than in, say, the USA.

I personally love languages, and I think that learning them helps you in ways you don't even realize. It improves your memory and your knowledge of your own language.

Answer 4

Really? what school is that? in my school, the more academic kids do 2 languages for 3 years & then do 1 GCSE language. I study A-level French but I dont really know any other languages! Don't u get confused?

Answer 5

Learning stuff is all ways good. My day is wasted if I didn't learn anything. We are in a Global Economy now, so is best to know your way around, and communication is the key to that. In China they teach good. In Brazil they teach good. Teachers in those countries make more than Colonels in the Military, it ain't that way here. If you have a teacher that is willing to teach, take advantage of it. Cause they dang sure do not get paid enough for what they are doing.

Answer 6

Defiantly.In todays world it is more than handy to know as many languages as you have the opportunity to learn.
If you are in the U.S. it would be as essential as here in Australia.We are both multi cultural societies and both love to travel.
I am always astounded in Egypt,young kids who come up to chat to you can speak 2 or 3 languages beside their native Arabic.Considering that many of them do not have the opportunity for education that we have in our countries. Its almost embarrassing, especially before I learnt very basic Arabic.I often wonder just how much they would be capable of learning in other forms of education given the opportunity.

Answer 7

No, I think it's over the top. 2 foreign languages should be enough, unless you're intending to work as a translator or so in the future.

Answer 8

i think its better 2 learn 2 languages than three.

Answer 9

I did too (French, German, Latin and Russian). You're really lucky - in Britain, lots of people don't do languages at all in school, or at least only have a couple of years... What languages do you have to? Let us know!

Answer 10

I dont think i should be mandatory that you learn maore than 3 but it should be that you have to learn more than 1.
