If you're the only person who wants to learn it, it won't happen in all honesty.
Just go to your French lesson and sleep, that's what I did.
Take up Japanese in your spare time, like I'm doing.

In my friends high school if you know spanish you can pick what language you want to do. She is taking Japanese not in class its independant work but she gets credit for it.

My parents pressured me to learn Spanish. I eventually broke down and took it. And failed it. They never suggested it again. You can't learn a language unless you actually like it. And you can't make yourself like something. If you don't like it...you won't be able to truly learn. And what you do learn will be forgotten quickly. Language is no small thing.

Sad thing about failing that course...it that it slowed me down from my going back and living in Japan. I need four years of college to work there from what I understand.

What kind of teacher forces you into taking a course. While French is my favorite Latin based languages...I don't much care for Latin bases languages period. I wouldn't enjoy a French class.

Making someone learn a language is fascist. They can't do that to you. Protest all you need. If necessary, perhaps you could change schools.
