Normally I would be ok with taking a “recommended but in actuality it’s required” type class, but with Foreign Languages I find it…disappointing that people “have” to choose a fourth year of a FL vs. taking a class they’re actually interested in (even if it’s non-rigorous).
I took 5 years of Spanish in HS and an advanced level class in college, but I’ve used Spanish maybe 5 times in the past 5-6 years.
