My middle school had English, German, Spanish, Latin, Ancient Greek.

That sounds amazing. In my high school I was the only one who signed up for Latin so they put me in Spanish instead...

Everybody picked English as first or second foreign language. Most picked Spanish as second language, the best students (or kids from solidly middle-class families) picked German as a first language, to get into the "good" group. Latin was an elective for nerds, Geek for Über-nerds.
