That moment...when you're an American teenager...and you can't understand any thing other than English because the school system doesn't make you learn languages until high school...you signed up for Latin...but you aren't in it till next year...

In NY, you must take a language in 7th and 8th grade, and if you fail the language then you must retake it. After language I, which your language classes in 7th grade and 8th grade are called, you have the option to continue with it up until the fifth level (which is Honors). You can also begin Latin starting in Freshman year. Im in Latin I and French II, but I'm going into French III and Latin II next year. |

Lmao, funny thing about French: the NC system just got rid of it. This was the last year. I wasn't gonna take it anyway, but if I want French now, I'll probably have to wait until college. We could do Spanish in mid. School, but it wasn't required. |

4 years of Spanish under my belt. I wish I was smart enough back then to learn an important language like German, Mandarin, or Arabic. For business purposes of course.
Edit: Might hit up Rosetta Stone to learn German after college.

Im sorry, but where are the numbers standing for? Course level. In America, it's a standard way of setting it up like so. Spanish I, then Spanish II, so forth... In math, there's Algebra I and Algebra II, but normally most students takes Geometry in between those two. Geometry do require Algebra I. But Algebra II can wait until after Geometry is taken. American college courses follows a different system. For example, Journalism 101 is the most basic course in Journalism. The 01 part signify that it is the first course of its series. The 1 in 100 signify that college freshman or higher may take it. Let's say there's something that only people who are in their junior year or higher in college may take it but it's only the initial course in its series (or can be just a lone course by itself). It would be "Whatever 301". That should answer to what numbers means in course titles in mid/high school or college. |

Edit: Might hit up Rosetta Stone to learn German after college. Spanish the best language to learn in a business perspective. A lot of people around the world speak it. The second would probably be Mandarin. |

So we trade a lot with germany, and basicelly everything is made in china |

After studying economics for nearly a year I've concluded that China will be a superpower in no time, so the best language to learn is Chinese actually.
also Chinese people like it very much if you talk to them in their own language, and many don't prefer to talk in English.(though many do know English, example being our local gmod Manstein).

Again, depends on where you live. If you live in the US of A or anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere, Portuguese, Spanish and English are your best bets. If you live in Pakistan, you'd want to know Mandarin, English and probably how to write Hindi. If you live in the Netherlands, you'd probably want to know German and English. All though Mandarin is a language that pretty much most people should know. |
