Highschool equals 11th through 13th grade in Denmark. By that time the
public schools will have taught the students english since 5th grade,
while some private schools teach english from 4th grade. the 10th year
in Public and Private schools is optional, but usually a student of
High School will have 5 years english prior to going to high school
and a total of no less than 6 years (5th-9th grade + 1 mandatory year
in High School) but maximum 8 years.
OTOH German is also mandatory but from 7th grade and first year in
High school is mandatory too. That means 3-4 years in public school
and 1-3 years in High School.
French is even less, optional in 9th and 10th grade, and 1 year
mandatory in High School.
Spanish, Russian, Italian and perhaps some other exotics are High
School only.
With all of that under our belt I find it hard to understand why
germans would only have english in High School and no english in
public schools?
