Despite the famed US focus of your education system you seem to learn a lot more foreign languages. When I went to school in the 1980's 90% of high school students would have done no foreign language while the other 10% would have done a year or two of French. Avery small number may have done 5 years of French (3or 4 a year maybe). when I went to university in the 90's I did a 4 year chemical engineering type degree where every paper in every year was prescribed and no languages of any kind were included. The schedule was so crowded it would have been practically impossible to fit anything else in. The expectation was pretty much 13 hours a day 7 days a week.
