I mean the whole school I went through kept nailing in our heads how much a foreign language would benefit you. I guess this went under the noses of whoever like teaching kids to balance a checkbook.

      We do, but like anything else you learn the basics and a few classes won’t make you fluent. You need immersion to get good and if you don’t use it you lose it.

      The people that use it are already in a multi language home and took the class because it’s super easy for them. Just about everyone else won’t really have a chance to use it outside of the classroom so everything we learn fades quickly
