Well, my school is a normal english school. But my school classifies itself as a "language" college.
In the school you spend 5 years there. In the first years, 7 8 9, you learn one of these three languages - German, French, Spanish.
At the moment I learn french.
When you reach years 10 and 11, you get to pick another language of YOUR choice. You get these offered to you - Italian, Japanese and Russian : )
So there you go. Im in year 9 at the moment, and next year I will be learning Russian!
