Why do I, personally?
Because I refuse to take Spanish. And French was my only other option.
I refuse to take Spanish.. why? Well because I think the Spanish people that move to the U.S. and other parts of the world should learn English.
I think they should learn English and not me learn their language.. Im not the one who moved here, so yeah why should I learn spanish FOR THEM?!
Obviously school is the best place to learn a foreign language (other than living in a froreign country). Learning a foreign language will stand you in good stead. This is as essential as learning maths or English.
they teach you to make you able to express yourself in more than your native language, which is quite important in lots of occupations.
In France, all of them!
French schools teach the basics of athletics. Children also go to the swimming pool and play collective sports (basketball, football, ..)
In some US schools yes. Some schools that I've known of teaches Japanese, French and Spanish mainly. But I am pretty sure that some schools also teach Korean.
Many private schools in Turkey.
the languages taught in French school are mainly English, Spanish, German.
Francophone schools teach subjects in French so students learn that language better and quicker.
Many state high schools offer French as a second language. There are no known specific bilingual schools. French is not offered as a subject in many Christian schools such as those found in the Lutheran system, or independent Christian schools, as demand is not high for this language as a subject.
so when we grow up we know stuff and teach our children
all the normal subjects but french is equivilant to our English and vice versa but history and geography are combined to make l'histoire-geo,
German is a classified subject in schools. Not all primary schools have to teach it though. All secondary/high schools have to teach it. Most secondary schools give students the option on French, German or Spanish. So schools do other languages as well though. But yes, German is a classified subject under the National Curriculum.
Help us narrow the question down by telling us where you are.
No, not all schools offer French language, history and culture instruction. French is a major world language. But schools face tight budgets. They need to match their offerings with the needs of the community and with national and international trends. In a community where Spanish is a major second language, French may not be considered a critical language to learn.
