I'm in my last year school and I've followed 6 years dutch and english, 5 years ancient greek and french, 4 years latin and 2 years german.

I like english but don't like my teacher at all so sitting in class isn't much fun often. I don't like dutch but my teacher is great so I like those lessons. I liked greek more than latin so I stopped with latin cause I'd have too many hours otherwise. I dropped french and german as soon as possible as I don't like the languages and there was quite a big chance I'd get a sucky teacher. Even if I got a good one the level was so low it wasn't worth the trouble, for example for my exams I had to be able to ask the way in both languages.

Latin is the source of many European languages and most English words are composed of two altered Latin words.

You will understand the meaning of words people don't. Because you can see they are 2 Latin words.

Very helpful.

I envy you. I did German and French. Good for showing off.

Well at my school we learn French (which is amazing [img]smile.gif[/img] ) all the way through, then Spanish for 2 or more years (depending on whether or not you chose it for a GCSE). I much would've preferred learning German than Spanish because I have loads of German friends and I'm into German music. Plus, it's a cool language [img]smile.gif[/img] . So now I'm learning German from home, bit by bit [img]smile.gif[/img] . I'd also like to learn other European languages as I get older.

Did a couple years of French in High School. Definitely not fluent, but I can get along well enough with a dictionary, or whatever.

Here it's German, French, or Spainish. I am currently taking Spanish 2, and having a very difficult time... oh well.
