Experiences vary. I learned the entire European enlightenment, french, college Calculus, Marching band, percussion, College chemistry, college English. In fact, once I got to college I took only chemistry courses (my degree), 1 calculus course, 2 years of German, and 3 philosophy courses. The german was bullshit requirement, frankly, and I should have taken french to simplify my life. But I was young and naive.

If you took french, all you'd have learned is a different way to pronounce a lot of english words.

By taking german, you learned how to take little things, and turn them into lengthy monstrosities.
