Yes, my father is a Jew who doesn't believe in God, therefore I don't think Arabic is a real language.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

My bestfriend in elementary school was from Tunisia. He spoke English, French, and some jibber jabber that wasn't Java or C++.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Re:OP, Spanish would be more practical, albeit less exciting. Americans are more likely to come in contact with Spanish speakers at an early age--which will keep those lessons from withering away into oblivion after a few years in addition to improving their skills.
OTOH, there's a good chance a number of those kids in NYC speak Spanish already.

Which version of the Arabic will they learn? It's more fractured than Spanish. Actually, do kids learn metropolitan Spanish or Mexican Spanish in the US?Graffiti in a public toilet

Also, do they learn just-drank-one-bottle-of-vodka Russian or just-emptied-the-whole-damn-bar Russian?

It has like 400 million speakers and is like the 4th or 5th most common language in the world. What does she mean by 'soon'?
