I had never taken a language course in university, and my older daughter I think never took any foreign language course in university. This got me searching to see whether the universities that we graduated from have a foreign language requirement. Much to my surprise they do – we just fulfilled it well before reaching the end of high school. It appears that high school classes did count towards fulfilling the foreign language requirements at least in our cases (and in my case the “foreign” language I studied wasn’t foreign, since I am from Montreal). I do not recall anyone in the university ever asking me to show that I had any foreign language ability.
Did you complete any foreign language courses when you were in high school?
Having traveled around the world on business for 40 years, I have found that English is the only language which is useful nearly everywhere. I might have used French 3 or 4 times in 40 years. There might be 10 other languages that I don’t know but could have used 2 or 3 times each over the years, but I instead got by with politeness and English (probably in that order).
