Hi Peter, OT
My nine year old goes to French school. I'm mainly being pragmatic here. The school is available as you know at no extra charge, my daughter is bright and my French is more than good enough to help her out at this level and through high school. After that she's on her own :o)

A second language is never a waste IMO. In the big picture it seems that learning Spanish etc is far easier with French under your belt. My younger sister (who actually went to French school instead of learning in the street and on the job as I) moved to California and was pretty well fluent in Spanish in no time.

I'm actually considering enrolling my kids in Chinese classes at the local school. It won't make them fluent but I can't see it hurting either.

regards
Kastel
