I just bought my linguistically-gifted daughter Rosetta Stone in Brazilian Portuguese. We have a family background, however I was not raised speaking it (assimilation was key in the 1970’s!). It bewilders me that seemingly no prep schools have Portuguese in their curriculum. But some offer Italian…in thinking about the population of Brazil vs. Italy, this is rather puzzling (and yes, I agree that Italian is a fabulously beautiful language). For school, she is sticking with Spanish, since we have many friends in MX DF and is (currently!) thinking of pursuing a career in the foreign service. My son, who shows little aptitude in foreign language, purposely picked Latin since it serves his interest in ancient history and English grammar. Per the above posts, it appears we may save a little money with him given the lack of foreign exchange programs for students taking Latin
