^ lol In my school, we have to have two foreign language credits to graduate with an Advanced Diploma. So I took Spanish. It was my only option at the time, but now we have French. Personally, I want to learn Italian and Latin. |

Bleh! You guys actually get a choice. Here in Canada, being it a 'bilingual' country, it's manditory to study French from Grade 1 (or 4, for Public Schools) to Grade 9. And in Grade 11, you must study a Third Lanuage. At least in Ontario. I wonder if Francophones have to study English? Ooh ... I would really like to study Latin! |

A person (a Canadian, in this context), who's native tongue is French ... Last time I checked, thats 31 per cent of the country. |

In Romania, it's a little different. In 2nd grade - 1st language is started (mostly English and French, but sometimes Italian, Spanish or German) In 5th grade - 2nd language is started (mostly English, French and German) And, for special 'language' classes, a new language is started in the 9th grade. Oh, and all 8th and 9th grade students study latin. Some even study it up to 12th grade. I don't quite like latin, it's basically useless. Besides, if you know a romanic language (french, spanish, italian) you'll find it easy to learn. I didn't have much of a trouble, because Romanian is also a romanic language, so there are quite a number of similarities. The difference is some romanian words have been taken from finno-ugrical (sp?) languages, so we have a lot of weird sounds... like portuguese, if anyone knows it. I study English and German, I've had some classes of French too (not in school), studied Latin for two years, and I've become very familiar with Spanish... italian and portuguese are quite alike, so I can make a few sentences too. |

'Native tongue' means that that is their first language. The language they grew up with at home ... almost 88% (I believe) of native-speaking French Canadians are concentrated in the one area: Québec (Québecois), and then they are also scattered regionally across the country. I suppose bilingual packaging encourages it. My first langauge is English, and I speak French well enough to get a job Ottawa, I suppose :P . |

We have to take all of them already in Advanced Classes. I'm like...WTF? I'm asian so I already know Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Filipino. |
