Comment on Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling?

Learning a language is a significant time investment, not only to learn the language but also to maintain proficiency. Unused skills degrade over time.

In terms of priorities and benefits vs time investment, it simply doesn’t make the cut.
