Very good blogs titina.  I have no idea what you said, eventhough i took two years of spanish in hs.  With a D in spanish I and an A in Spanish II, i learned the basics.  However, many of my peers categorized spanish class as a waste of time, which leads me to my questions to all bloggers.  Regardless of whether or not you ever took a foreign language, do you think that foreign language I and II should be mandatory for all in order to be admitted to a four year university or to have it done in order to graduate from college?  Granted the language may come in handy one day, but should these courses be a graduation requirement or a chosen elective?  Does anybody know whether or not any other countries force their students to learn another language?  Titina, keep up the good blogs!
