I wonder what idiot determine which languages you can choose.
One of the government websites says this:
Spanish
Italian
Russian
Arabic
Turkish
And on some schools:
Chinese
Frisian (Fries)
While I can get Italian and Spanish, I loath the fact that Russian, Arabic, Turkish and Chinese are possible languages to choose from. What use do we have of them here in the Netherlands? Every other Moroccan or Turk over here will choose Arabic or Turkish as their "second" language. Russian and Chinese are of no use here.
What if I wanted to do Japanese? Or Swedish, Danish, Norwegian (Norsk?) or Finnish?
