Default language learning in schools second language ????

Hi

Does anyone know what children learn at schools as a second language, here in England it is French/German (and in some cases/schools Spainsh).


Thanks

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.
