This is really interesting! I live on the border where there’s a lot of French Language schools, but not much else. About 40% of the teachers at my secondary school were French but there was no drive for a bilingual education, which I always felt was a shame. (Probably down to the English suspicion of other languages ahaha)
My best friend at school was Filipino so spoke English and Tagalog with a bit of Spanish thrown in, and we often talked about awkward exchanges with family members who assumed she still had 100% fluency, and the guilt that came with that.
Yes Latin! (Caecillius est in horto, ohoho) Latin was mandatory for 3 years but I took it for 7 since it was the only language which didn’t require speaking/listening exams... that class was literally just me (there for a laugh/laziness) and all the girls wanting to go to Medical school lol.
