I couldn't agree with you more astarz, they should be teaching foreign languages to kids at a younger age. As for me I speak english as a first language and my Japanese is tolerably good. (enough to survive anyway.) My russian is pretty good, at least I think it is. I'm a beginner in Chinese and I learnt German for two years in primary school but I've forgotten most of it now. I can still remember the numbers and how to introduce myself.
