Latin? No way! I didn't think they still taught Latin. That's freaking amazing XD A little useless in your future, but still pretty cool :P

Take Latin if you want to be a priest. Or if you think it'll help you with Romance languages (or if you just want to know what your school's motto reads).

French B SL and HL (Canadian too, eh)
But generally, only French Immersion students do HL.

took it for one year, and it didnt help, at honors level. Mainly because the teacher let us get away with no studying. It was another JA as you may say. wasted my time ,while I could have been in an AP class.

My school (located in Melbourne, Australia) offers Japanese B (SL), Mandarin B (SL and HL), German B (SL), French B (SL and HL) and Spanish B (SL). It's really strange that some languages are only able to be taken at SL, I wonder how they decide which to offer at HL.

My school only offers French as an IB course, though there is also a German program.  I wish my school offerend Mandarin or Japanese though.

my school is extremely small
we have only 7 IB full diploma students
but they offer French B HL or SL; you can choose, but im the only French B HL student..hahaha
English B; a lot of students are taking it because most of the student population are asians
there's also Japanese B HL or SL; student's choice
then there's also Spanish B HL or SL; you can choose again
because we're such a small school, we can choose, and the teachers will organize it for us
so its quite good actually =]

My school offers
German, Spanish, French, Mandarin at H/L and S/L
Russian, Japanese, Latin at S/L
But it is a Language college which means it is specialised in languages :)

Our school offers German B HL, SL or ab initio, French B SL or HL and Danish B (currently only in SL..)

I actually take German B HL (used to live in Austria) and Danish B SL as a 7th Subject because I wanted to make use of the 5 years of mandatory Danish class.. :S

Go Latin! yay!
obviously I'm in Latin at my school, and yeah it is IB. about a third of my IB class is in it, the rest take Spanish, except for one in French. Latin is also offered as AP, but either way you can only get up to fourth year. it's pretty easy because we don't do much. most of the non IB kids can barely translate and we don't even have to speak it.
i think I'm probably the only IB Latin kid on this site.
