Neither do I. My school offers it, but I am already taking Latin and Spanish...

the two will serve you well. French will be easy to learn later on with that background. I end up speaking Spanish at least a little here every day.

I understand there are some similarities between Spanish/Latin and Greek including some similar words and pronunciation.

Of course the alphabet are different.
