Well four years of a language won't result in you being a very good speaker anyway. The key here is that foreign language classes also teach you about other cultures, which is definitely important.
- ghaff 8y agoYes, that's probably the best justification for a high school curriculum that includes some number of years of foreign language. If classroom high school language isn't supplemented with more immersive or day-to-day use, you're probably not going to get to the point where you can write, speak, understand the language comfortably. I had 4 years of high school French and I was even relatively good at it, albeit not quite top of class. Today, I'm more comfortable in a French-speaking country than someone who knows no French at all, but my skill level is really pretty low.
