Question

i'm really worried about what elective language i should take in 8th grade. for my choice i put french.. do u think it's a good language to learn. oh and also is it helpful to start taking a language in eighth grade? plz help me!! :) thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

I would choose either Chinese of Spanish.  Those two options could open up many doors to you for employment in the future.  Ultimately, I don't think it is a big deal, but it be nice to choose wisely just in case it affects your future career.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Take Spanish.  There are more opportunities speaking Spanish.

Answer 3

If you live in the US, Spanish is a better choice, because already 1/3 of people living in the US speak it as a primary language. That number is rapidly growing and may be the number one language in the US in the near future. Overall, you will get many more business opportunities if you know Spanish, rather than French. I know French sounds prettier, but Spanish is better for you in the long run

Answer 4

Any language is a great idea in 8th grade. It will help you in the long run especially if you ever plan to travel internationally. If you think you may someday got to Paris then stick with French. Depending where you live you may want to consider Spanish- there are a lot of paralells with Italian in Spanish. The imprtant thing is to take a language you're interested in (or the country). Good luck!

Answer 5

Spanish probably more of ur friends are taking it.

Answer 6

Chinese would be a good option if it is available, otherwise Spanish.  

Answer 7

hey french could be cool my brother is pretty much fluent in french. i took spanish because more people take speak spanish in the world but either one is totally fine. whichever you think would be more interesting. good luck!

Answer 8

I think spanish is a better choice

i took french only because i knew spanish already

and it would only help you if you took french the next four years of high school because then you would be ahead

but if you change your mind freshamn year it wont help at all

Answer 9

yes do take it in 8th grade cause it will help u when u hit high school, at my school french wasn't an op. u should take something more usefull  like spanish even though that is not what i did i took german just because it was way easir and i new that i would fail if i took spanish so take whatever is more usefull to u

Answer 10

i would have loved to start taking a language in 8th grade, but my district didn't offer it until 9th. i think spanish is the best to learn if you plan on continuing learning how to speak it in college. so many people who come to the u.s. as immigrants speak spanish, and i think it will really help me in life to be able to communicate with most people.

french is also good if it's what you're interested in, though, and if you don't plan on continuing it in college.
