Sitting through a class you don’t like, without really learning anything, just to satisfy a credit requirement seems like terrible advice.

If he doesn’t enjoy the class, he is not going to learn anything and at that point any talk of credits is irrelevant. Especially being a foreign language

I agree with this to a certain extent. Again though, if he intends to attend a university with a language requirement, they won't care if he doesn't like the class, and if the claims from my university peers carry any weight, university language courses are quite a bit more difficult than a high school foreign language class. It may be worth it to get it out of the way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
