[quote=Anonymous]I’d say Spanish for my kids, because it’s widely spoken in this area and the access to being able to practice your language skills regularly is invaluable to learning another language. Secondarily, I’d suggest Korean because one of my children and I are Korean adoptees. Being in reunion with my birth family and having little way to communicate is really, really hard, I took 3 years of Latin and one of French in high school, and 3 years of Italian in college. I didn’t find Latin particularly useful, personally, and thought it actually hindered my ability to learn to actually speak another language. My Latin teacher was able to speak Latin, but obviously most people can’t do that and I think my brain really struggled with the aspect of speaking a language as opposed to reading it.[/quote]
