learning a new language

No, it wasn't a matter of local differences, it was more a matter of a massive faiilure to communicate with even the most basic vocabulary and tenses and whatnot.

I take it to mean that the school system wasn't really interested in making me bi-lingual. That would be impossible to promise. What would be possible to promise would be "four years of language education for college-bound high-schoolers", and that's what I got.
