Teenagers who dislike studying languages at school, or people who disliked studying languages – why?

What do you feel could be done/have been done to make lessons more interesting?

    im in german 2 and the teacher is amazing, he gets us involved and its not all book work and crap…every 5min or so we start talking about something else, right now we are learning about food so one of our assignments are to bring an apfelkuchen (apple cake) to class, this assignment is optional but who cares lol and we talk aloud about the langauge not just read it and worksheets, its a great class

    I personally **** learning French. We do the same thing lesson after lesson. Verbs, verbs stupid verbs!! Also, I can’t use accents to save my life. It’s just boring. I think it should be optional. I will have forgotten it all by next year anyway. Plus the teacher is stupid. She can’t control us so she spends all her time yelling, and when you sit right at the front you get a little deaf after a while.
    Languages, I just **** em’. All we do is copy from a text book and attempt to listen to some stupid tape. It’s honestly the class I dread most.

    I find studying languages no more boring thann learning everything else. The same thing class after class, open your books, the teacher talk, bla bla bla BORING. Thats why I **** school. Maybe if the teachers got us a little more involved instead of just talking to us and making us read.

    I take french.(not by choice) i would personally like to do things like go to a restaurant and order food in french. I find it stupid to learn a bunch of verbs if i don’t know how to even speak a bit in french. Id like to do things like watch french TV. Using the language would be great.
