I was born and raised in the USA and never had to learn any other language, I'm older so I don't know if that has changed since the late 80's to mid 90's. I took french when I was in 3rd grade but it was not a required class, it was more for fun. I don't recall any of the french I learned then so there ya go. After that I never took any class's for language, wish I had though (not that it was a option after I changed schools). My son is now in high school and has not learned any language other than English. School did not teach me shit, guess you need money and a private school...
