Foreign language courses are required subjects that students must take two years of during their four years of high school. Depending on which courses are offered by the school, students may be able to take two years of Spanish, French, Mandarin, or any other available choice. While two years are the minimum requirement, there are additional courses that offer more in-depth practice and understanding of the language, such as Spanish 3 or Spanish 4.
However, the question remains: Is there a benefit to taking more than two years of foreign language?
Although it may not seem like it, there are definitely some advantages — let’s look into some of them.
