[quote=UCGal]Don’t most 4 year colleges (U.S.) still require some foreign language coursework in high school? Or was that eliminated along the way.

Most all of the more competitive schools require 2 or more years of a foreign language. The UC’s require two years, recommend more, for entering freshmen. (Curiously, at least some campuses drop that requirement for community college transfers.) Unless they’ve recently changed, Stanford requires 3 years, Harvard 4.
