All laowai learn another language on Tuesdays after lunch in room 231

It is quite possibly just a mistranslation, but your question implies that there are two types of people in the world.
Chinese and laowai.

A much better way to phrase the question would have been "What languages did you learn at school?"

In New Zealand no serious educational spending is invested in languages. Through my schooling we paid lip service to German, French and Maori.

But I don't think I know anybody that took them as a serious subject.

blucat is criticizing the narrow viewpoint of your question.
"Do LAOWAI have foreign language lessons"
What the f*** kind of question is that? There are hundreds of countries in the world with hundreds of different education systems.
In some countries, they learn several languages from a very young age in school.
In some countries, they don't.
But there is no single rule for all "laowai."

Sigh.... I don't know why I bother.

Anyway, let's answer your question.

The US is pretty lazy in terms of foreign languages. In high school, most kids study either French or Spanish.... but they never really learn it well because they don't care enough.

I thought you did

"Do laowais have foreign language lessons?"

This question sounds unbelievably naive. It's like something a five-year-old child would ask his mother.

"Mama, does laowai have books?"

Did you think anyone would reply "No."?

No. Laowai don't have foreign language lessons. Only Chinese do.

If everybody seems to find them essential, maybe it is you who doesn't spend enough energy on it.

But I shall try to speak for the rest of the world.

French schools, as well as most European schools, study English starting at least in middle school, if not earlier. They might also study German.
Filipino schools are actually taught in English.
Many schools in Africa are taught in French, or teach it as a second language.

Basically, everywhere except the english-speaking countries must study secondary languages in school. And even those countries try, just not very hard.

I heard that laowai cannot learn chinese in school.
Is this true?

Not that anyone asked, but I have to say, I agree with Silky. You guys seem a little overly sensitive. All she asked was, what the situation is outside of China.
