Actually...although Spanish or French would be more logical languages to teach the kiddies, Russian isn't a bad idea. Because Russian uses a completely different alphabet than Western languages do, the young Russian speaker's mind naturally expands. And like I said in the first line, if the Orange Walrus gets a second term we might all have to learn Russian just to understand the edicts from his masters in Moscow.
Feel fortunate. At least they're not teaching Polish. Polish doesn't really obey word order rules..."Trump fucked over America," "America was fucked over by Trump," and "Fucked America Trump over" all mean the same thing to a Polish speaker.
Also be glad they're not learning Korean. The Korean alphabet is a little strange...they use "syllable blocks" in Hangul, where all the characters that form an entire syllable are stacked up inside of a small square.
