Aside from all the complaints about rep I've been getting today, my day's great. :] Got an extra hour to sleep in last night, stopped at Starbucks on the way into work for a Black Tea Lemonade, got to work at 8:30, and then after I came back from the bathroom half an hour ago, it turns out dad went back to Starbucks and picked up another lemonade for me. Perfect timing too since I'd literally just finished my first. ♥

Now just playing paperwork catch-up since I was sick yesterday.
 
We have the comenius project where people from spain and turkey come to visit. I like spain. And I'm supposed to bellydance today. But I'm ill. :/ nao.

I can say: queso. and tengo hambre. :D
 
We had an exchange student from Chile a few months ago. He couldn't speak a word of English so everyone {especially the girls} felt sorry for him. :|

I wouldn't want to ever do an exchange, way too scary.

This year there was a girl from Jordan in my grade, she was an exchange student. She spoke perfect English, she even had the American accent perfect except for a few words. Well, I felt so bad for here because people called her a terrorist and things like that all because she was Muslim and from the Middle East. D: I wanted to give her a hug.
 
I am still pretty bad at Spanish after two years. Although, the first year didn't count because the teacher taught us nothing.

Italian teacher teaching Spanish in English to English students. O.o
 
Chinese Mandarin I think would be an awesome language to learn but I hear it's very difficult.
 
French sounds lovely to me :)
Mandarin I think would be useful for business because China takes in a lot of business from all round. I know some schools in my country do Mandarin, but not mine.
 
I know a bit of Spanish. D: Enough to survive down here, but I'm planning on studying it more so I can become fluent. It probably doesn't help that I'm in Mexico now and everything on TV is Spanish. XD;

I'd love to learn French and Japanese too though.
 
French is a worthile language to learn as it's used worldwide. I'd reccomend it anyway.
 
Some schools here do Japanese and for some reason Russian. They do the obvious, Spanish and Latin as well. A lot offer German. Some on the East Coast offer Irish Gaelic. Oh, here is the kicker, my last school dropped French and is now denying people the chance to learn French. However, they still teach Latin. You would think they would drop a class that barely anyone takes before one of the major languages of the world. Also, country with French as one of the official languages less than 30 miles north of us. Not very smart to drop French. -_-;
 
Somebody from last years oldest year did a japanese GCSE and got A* :D I've never heard of russian being taught in schools though.
 
French is a wonderful language unless it's the Quebecois dialect in which case I can't understand a word of it and it sounds disgusting to me. XD

My high school only offered French and Italian. :| If you wanted to take any other language, you had to attend Saturday school, though you could still get the credit for it, thankfully.
 
Yeah one of the teachers at my current school is from Russia and they let the teacher teach Russian to a class during one of her free periods.
