Hi
from reading other threads and looking into schools it seems to vary

French , German, indonesian, chinese and japanese all seem to be common

if you are looking for a certain language try looking into individual schools cirriculums.

hope this helps

My children are learning Auslan - Australian signing for deaf. As Chlor says, different schools have different second languages. Look at where you plan to move then start checking out different school websites for their curriculum.
