I grew up in the Miami area; during my elementary years Spanish was part of our daily curriculum. I went on to take seven more years of Spanish and three of German. My mother spoke French, so I tried wholeheartedly to learn it as well, I can still recall a few choice words! Learning a foreign language, especially in the upper levels, can be helpful with English as well, with understanding tenses, the conjugation of verbs and the etymology of words.
