I'm interested in knowing which languages are taught most often in Victorian schools. I heard that Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, French and Italian are among the top of the list. I've also heard of private school students who study Latin. What did everybody study in their primary/secondary schooling life?
Edit: I also realize that people may have changed schools frequently during primary/secondary school and that the language may not stay the same as they move through from primary to secondary schooling. Please specify if this is the case.
This thread is probably flawed. Should have probably thought about this more carefully. Ah well.
-
I did japanese in primary school, but then indonesian in secondary (also french and japanese are offered at the secondary school).
-
French in primary school, french in secondary (yrs 7-8, 9-10 are available too) and indo was offered too
-
I did french in primary school, although in primary school you just learn really basic phrases such as bonjour, au revoir and comment tu t'appelles?
I did chinese in year 7 and 8 and french in year 9 to 10. This was because I moved schools and chinese wasnt offered at my new school. I guess with high school, they start teaching you grammar and more phrases
-
Did anyone do Chinese here? I just put that there because I know there are lots of asians here and wanted everyone to feel welcome.
Anyway, please ignore the poll, let's treat this like any ordinary thread. The poll will be inaccurate.
-
I did Indo at primary school and German all through high school.
-
In primary school I was taught Italian, then when I moved to my current school, we learnt French in Junior School and French and Chinese in Senior School :)
-
I did Japanese and French. Continued with French in VCE.
-
Indonesian in primary, Italian in high school. Completed Vietnamese in VCE.
-
German in primary and secondary, but Chinese was offered too.
No idea why I didn't do Chinese, it's my first language but I would've qualified for SL which for me is really, really easy. Fail -.-
-
Chinese than Indonesian. Did Malaysian as pretty much a first language before then. Still did rather shit in Indo =/
-
I did French in primary, continued that until ~year 8/year 9, then I swapped to Chinese - which I finished this year. :)
-
I did Italian in primary school, then French and Italian in high school until end of year 9. They used to also offer Korean, but I think that's changed to Mandarin now.

Primary school through to VCE: French
Years 7 and 8: German
It's compulsory at my school to learn two LOTEs in years 7 and 8, then at least one LOTE in years 9 and 10. I've yet to hear of a school that offers as many LOTEs as mine: French, German, Latin, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin) and Bahasa Indonesian.
In hindsight, I wish I took Latin in lieu of German, so then I could've continued it into VCE and taken advantage of the epic scaling. The tasks required to be completed in Latin SACs and Exams are the kind I'm good at; reading comprehension and translation.

i went to two primary schools: one offered italian, the other chinese.
then in high school theres french, italian and chinese. :)
-
Primary: Indonesian.
Secondary: French (Till year 9). Japanese and German are also offered.
-
- Primary: Italian.
- Secondary: Latin, French, Indonesian and Chinese.
At my school (CGS), you learn all 4 languages from Years 7-8 (1 language per term) to get a taste of each language. In Year 9, you can just choose 1 or 2 language(s) to study or alternatively, don't choose any languages.
Chinese and French are the most popular at my school. I'm yet to regret choosing Latin, it's a good LOTE.
-
Primary School - Japanese (although we only learn basic phrases, it was kind of a bludge really)
Secondary School - Japanese and French are offered, compulsory to do both up until yr 9
-
At my first primary school I learned Indonesian and I learned Japanese at my second primary school. In high school I did Italian.
