1. English, Norwegian - for all eleven years I went to school. Did a year of German in 9th grade, but realised having extra English classes would be way more useful. Would've done Spanish, but it wasn't offered.

2. English, Norwegian.

3.Enough, I think; but we should be demanding more of students. Some of my classmates who actually refused to speak English at all in class, even reading aloud, ended up with Cs. They should've failed.

4. Makes perfect sense to me. I'm sick of all this "protecting your culture" bullshit. The future's here, guys! Fucken learn English! And maybe stop teaching us French and German, start telling us about Chinese and Arabic languages.
