I thought a compulsory second language was taught in all schools in England. French, mainly. It's a shame really, cause learning a new language is a fun process to go through. I think every kid should take up a new language around the age of 8. That's the best age to introduce new information into a child's brain. It has been proved that children are way better at learning a new language than adults. The sooner they get familiar with it, the better. I was taking more hours of English than my actual first language when I was 10 and I started doing syntactic analysis of sentences in English before I could even locate a subject in a Catalan or a Spanish sentence. That's why I think English is easier than any other language out there. I was 10 and I already knew everything there was to be taught about English grammar. There's no way I could have gotten that good at, say, Japanese, at such a young age.
