I remember enough that I could get by as a tourist if I were to visit Russia again (I could ask where the bathrooms are, how much something costs, what time is it, navigate the subway, etc.) but I wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with someone. Some of the people in my office are from Russia, so I overhear their conversations sometimes and can pick out some words, but not enough to figure out what they're actually talking about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school/page/2#post-1507271 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:09:56 +0000 Alivoo01 1507271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Español! I loved it!!! I even took the Spanish CLEP test for kicks and giggles while in HS. </p> <p>I live in TX now so it has been kind of useful. I miss it, and have lost quite a bit. I used be able to be able to conjugate verbs without problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school/page/2#post-1506725 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:58:13 +0000 teamjse 1506725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506719 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:56:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 1506719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish, the only language offered at my small school.

I spent 2 weeks living with a family in France my sophomore year and it was a great experience! </p> <p>Wagon Sr. took Russian (the only offering at his high school at the time) and it's so cool when he can speak or understand things! He wants to get a textbook and start studying it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506497 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:03:02 +0000 swurlygurl 1506497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish, 6th - 12th grade. I even started a minor in Spanish in college, but dropped it when I switched Universities and majors.</p> <p>I know enough to communicate when DH and I go to Mexico, and to have a brief understanding when I hear others speaking in Spanish. I wish I knew more though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506363 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:02:39 +0000 mynoahbear 1506363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish...it did help a little when I used to work in a restaurant where most of the kitchen staff and busboys spoke Spanish. Now that we're living in Asia, I've only used it once. One of the nurses at the hospital in tokyo where I had dd1 spoke Spanish but not English. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506352 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:55:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1506352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish, 7th- 12th grade.

I don't remember a thing and it didn't help me at all with my SATs, because we learned it like a language, not to strengthen words! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506342 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:50:22 +0000 Mamaof2 1506342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 yrs Spanish then 2 yrs Latin - I only took Latin because they got to go to NYC every year for a field trip! :silly: </p> <p>Neither have been useful really.

I took it one extra year and then stopped.</p> <p>I don't remember very much of it. Looking back, I wish I'd continued to study it because I was always a high 90s french student, and I'm sure it would have been useful to me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506302 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:32:25 +0000 Dandelion 1506302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish in High School...German in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506301 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:31:47 +0000 Andrea 1506301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mandarin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-language-did-you-take-in-high-school#post-1506295 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 06:27:43 +0000 Charm54 1506295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in a French immersion school from k-12.
