You guys have it easy.
I studied German in grades 1-10, English 11-12, Russian 3-8 and Latin 9-12, each with at least three hours of lectures/week. And I was on natural sciences track where the emphasis was on math, physics, chemistry and biology (in that order).
The kids on social track had more hours and another 6 years of a Roman language of their choice (either French or Italian).
Even the kids on the vocational track would meet Harvard’s foreign language requirement 🙂
