In my case, ( as well as most people who graduated with me ) you only took the two mandatory languages ( hindi and english in my case ) really seriously, while the curriculum for 3rd was signlificantly easier. Frankly speaking, its very very difficult to juggle 3 languages at a higher level, and most kids would opt out of it. I did say that ' not that people dont.. ( learn another language ) as well
