Answer 7

Well, firstly we learn English grammar and spelling. Then after that, what language we choose to take (for me it started in middle school) is up to the student to choose. Usually you have a smaller number of language choices in middle school (usually limited to Spanish or French). Then afterwards in high school (for me we had to take at least 3 years of a foreign language in HS) you have more of a choice for language, and you don't have to continue your middle school route either. In middle school I took 2 years of French and in Highschool, 4 years of Latin. Not all high schools offer latin, but many will. The school curriculum in America is not standardized, so it varies from school to school which languages are offered. At mine's, there was Spanish, French, Latin, German, and Italian.

Answer 8

European languages. We have a choice between Spanish, French, Italian, or German.

Answer 9

English is the language that's taught. Some schools will integrate Spanish in Elementary school, but generally other languages are optional in middle and high school.

Answer 10

Just English
