Well, English, starting the earlier years in school. Later came Russian, and even trough I've been taking it for 4 years or so, i still can understand people who speak it. Never really liked that language, and the teachers didn't make it fun, either. And lately I've been interested in Japanese, but too bad my school doesn't teach that one.

Well I was forced to learn take Irish and French for 3 years and Spanish for 2 years. Then i dropped Irish once it stopped being compulsory and now I've done 5 years of French and 4 of Spanish. I far prefer French though.

Spanish, because it was either that or french.

Woulda loved to take German, if my school board wasn't retarded and knew basic money management.

An austerity budget! We have an austerity budget! It's like bankruptcy for schools, except it only hurts the teachers and students! The people who wasted the money still have their jobs! And the worst part is, it's a public school! They wasted taxpayer dollars! And they expect us to bail them out if we want any sports or art programs! No advanced writing classes! No soccer! Nothing keeping most of the student body in school! AND almost no chance of me getting into a decent college! MGWUAAARR!!!!

So Spanish.

Well, as someone currently studying Latin,
I think it says something about Marcus (Sextum, don't know what that is) did not love the boy because he was troublesome?
It would make sense if I knew what Sextum is...

I find it interesting that all of you had to take a mandatory language. At my school we had to take Spanish in 4th and 5th grades, then an exploratory course in 6th and 7th grade of Latin, French, or Spanish. You had to take 4 years of a language in high school, German, Latin, Spanish, French or Italian.

Well, as someone currently studying Latin,
I think it says something about Marcus (Sextum, don't know what that is) did not love the boy because he was troublesome?

Sextum is the name Sextus with the suffix -um applied because Sextus is the direct object in the sentence. He is the person/thing that Marcus does not like.

Four years of Japanese in high school. Oddly enough without ever discussing it with each other before hand four of my cousins have also taken Japanese, and we've also all been there at one point or another.

I took two years of Latin. The teacher was very fun. Easy to distract, too. He once told us the story of Pan's Labrynth almost verbatum. It was spread out over about 4 or 5 classes (in the last half hour of each).

Ah right, yeah I wasn't sure if that was a name or just some weird adjective/noun I hadn't heard of.

I took German in 9th grade. Failed spectacularly. Then I took Spanish because I needed the foreign language credit, and it was an easy A.
