Which language to choose?

German was dropped from our high school’s language offerings a couple of years ago due to lack of participation. Spanish and French are still the most “popular”. Chinese is offered beginning in middle school, but the class size dwindles pretty rapidly in high school. I think the difficulty in learning the language has a lot to do with that. I believe that it will continue to be offered since it is the “hot” language now:
