Now i love the la langue francais, whatever I think of the French govt. I wish id learned more of it.
POTM has just selected her high school language. She picked Japanese. She and her friends think its cool. She considered Russian which was pushed by the Russian club, but decided against it. Of course Spanish is still the default language taken by most kids. But, from what POTM says, hardly anyone is taking French.
Chinese is now being offered, but POTM wasnt interested.
Now maybe its cause this is a science-tech school and at a humanities program (like the IB program) thered be more kids taking French.
Or maybe there really isnt much reason to take French anymore. No real pop culture exports (like Japan) and certainly not the high culture power France had when I took French back in the 1970's. And not the economic importance of Chinese or Japanese. Not the power, the sense of cache, French still had in the '70s.
I dont know. Your thoughts? Je ne sais pad. Votre pensees?
