    I didn’t take any foreign language courses in high school or college. However, I was a German and Russian linguist in the USAF. My language courses consisted of 32 weeks of German with classes 8 hours a day/ 5 days a week. Russian was only 8 weeks long but we had to complete 1/2 of the otherwise 52 week course in that time. We got one afternoon to learn they Cyrillic alphabet. That was 23 years ago so my Russian’s a little bit rusty. My German is OK for getting around Deutschland.

    Honestly….I took none. I went to a small school and was able to be in Band instead of a foreign language.

    Don’t judge me. lol

    Espanol in high school and Deutsch in college. I’ll take the Deutsch over the Espanol any day in terms of ease to learn. I really enjoyed learning German.

    Travis… that’s not mine… though I wish it was…. I just Googled “Foreign Language” and that came up. I love it.

    Lorijo - I’m a little jealous of you.

    Spanish…failed 101
    then German in College…don’t remember a word

    Now I’m within six months of being semi-fluent in a local dialect of Arabic…..which is rated as the 2nd most difficult language in the world to learn….
    wow, what I would give for Spanish again !

    I took 3 1/2 years of German…of which I know very little now.

    Is it a coincidence that the pupils of the eyes in the picture above are centered on Washington, DC, and Baghdad…?

    Gripping pic. Wow.

    Si. Spanish - 9th though 12th grade.
    Profe made us pick Spanish names to use instead of our own. Mine was Magdalena. :)

    Woah! That photo is cool but it freaked me out when it popped up.

    I took Spanish, but it was a requirement for me. I was in an inaugural IB class, and Spanish is all that was offered.

    Fortunately, I already spoke Spanish so it was kinda easy, but I sorta slacked because of that.

    I took SEVEN YEARS of Spanish.
    Two in middle school, then four in high school. But the first one in HS just kind of repeated what the 2 in middle school did (like Portorikan, I was in IB and they didn’t give us options!).
    I took 2 semesters worth here at UF because I was going to minor in it, but I didn’t really like the Spanish department here.

    I should be fluent by now. I’m definitely NOT.
    I’d like to go study abroad somewhere where I can speak it. But we’ll see.

    My high school decided it’d be a good idea to let band, choir, and art classes count towards your foreign language requirement. Now I wish I would’ve taken spanish!

    I took French. It was a great class for forming friendships and learning to say fun things like “Do you want to wrestle with the rancid monkey”

    Lindsey, I know exactly what you mean. I took 7 years of French and when I finally actually went to France I felt like a beginner.

    I did IB in school, too!

    Like Melody, I took Spanish and was forced to take a “spanish” name. Me llamo Catarina. I guess Estebania was no bueno. I can honestly say I learned more Spanish working with Mexican nationals at Taco Bell in 1.5 years than I did in 3 in high school. Though…some of those words shouldn’t be used in polite conversation. Es la verdad!

    I didn’t do a language in high school, but i studied Japanese and Pitjantjatjara (a local Aboriginal language). Neither of these were available in high school.

    I took two year of Latin in high school because it was the easiest and I just knew I would never need a REAL foreign language.

    Then I moved to Mexico for a year.

    Now I’m an español major. Funny how life works out.
