What if the number might surprise you?

I find it so cute when I hear people try to speak French.

During the 4th, 5th & potentially 6th years you could pick between French and German, and could drop one of them, which is where I dropped French.
Near my final years they suddenly added Mandarin as an optional language you could take at my high school (though I doubt that was a thing nationwide), but that was already too late for me as you'd need to start following it in earlier years.

In my country we usually got to pick between French and Russian. Though in my case I got the option to pick Latin, instead. So I picked that, went with it for 6 years (making me a certified Latin expert). And I haven't used it ever since! xD

In my country, it's English or German at the start of middle school, then English, Spanish or German halfway through middle school (if you took German first, then you have to take English, and if you take English first, you can choose between Spanish and German). ALSO, you can add Latin, and sometimes Ancient Greek if that option exists in your school. And I did English, Spanish, Latin, then dropped Latin for Greek.
So Megan, you took Latin, cause why choose a living language when you can choose a language that no one speaks (however, there are some Wikipedia articles in Latin lol)
