Spanish is offered more often (sometimes as the only language available, as was in my middle school), but I would be much more interested in learning French, if it were offered. I hope that helps. By the way, I'm from N.Y.C., so that's only one area.

generally between middle and high schools the choices are spanish or french, and spanish is much more popular (3:1 ratio) some regions offer intro classes in elementary schools, but typically through out all of these programs not much is learned by the students; they see it as a mandatory chore just like math, science, etc.

Spanish and French are in most schools, though most schools favor Spanish over French. (I was strong armed into taking Spanish in Junior High by a terrible guidance counselor.)

Mostly in middle schools. In my middle school they thought me Spanish and we had no option. I already know Soanish so for me it was boring. They teach spanish mostly in private middle schools

No. Not all schools in the US teach languages. Most schools don't really start until Middle School (7th and 8th grades, to be specific) and many don't offer languages at all until 9th grade (High School). Some don't offer any, even then! But if there is only one language, you're likely to find Spanish...if they have a second, it's probably French or German. Italian is pretty popular, Japanese, Chinese, and Latin, where there are teachers available. After that, it's pretty much anyone's guess. If you find a school that teaches DUAL LANGUAGE (classes in English and another) or some schools actually are complete immersion, you're more likely to find that in Spanish, though you can find some in French as well. Chinese is actually being thought to be the next most important language out there. Spanish is almost always more popular...it's seen as more macho, and more useful to Americans (cause there is so much immigration, and Spanish speaking countries are so close...They only speak French in a small part of Canada, and they all speak English, anyway. Or almost all.

I would say Spanish. Spanish is much more useful since 21 countries have Spanish as there official language. People who know Spanish get paid more too for this reason.
