Foreign language study starts at a very young age for many students in America. A report by the America Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages says that some students start language training at the age of six. The US students are not required (被要求) to receive foreign language training so early. However, many students choose to study foreign languages in primary school. The most popular languages for them are Spanish(西班牙语), French and German(德语).

Almost 7 million students in public secondary school in America are studying a foreign language. These students are from 12 to 17 years old. Nearly 70% of the students choose to study Spanish. French, German, Italian(意大利语), Japanese(日语) and Russian(俄语) are also popular. There is also a growing interest in the Arabic(阿拉伯语) language in the US.

Each state(州) sets its own requirements for foreign language study at junior high school senior high school. Many students graduate from high school with at least two years of foreign language study. Some study a foreign language for four years.

There are different foreign language study requirements at colleges and universities(大学). Some universities require students to have several years of language education in high school. Also, many colleges and universities require students to complete at least two years of foreign language study before graduating.
