You can get out of it in Britain, but only if you go very intensely down the art and design route.
Yes yes, we take different languages here in the U.S. But c'mon it's not like we really learn it well :rolleyes2

Now, if they focused 2 school hours from K-12 grades with 1 or 2 languages in mind then you'd be saying something. But if I'm right, here in the U.S. we don't start taking foreign language classes 'till Junior High (middle school) and if we do it's only 1 school hour or less which really doesn't allow us to learn it.
