Our school teaches French, Spanish, German and Latin

Learning any language no matter what it is helps brain development and appreciation and acceptance of cultures different from our own.
A vast majority of our English words are based on French due to early English nobility only speaking French when in court.

We often get students whose parents have been stationed in Okinawa, Japan and it is really cool to see how the kids pick up the language and culture

If I had another chance to guide my child into a language class I would encourage Arabic, Japanese, or Chinese!
