Do your schools offer German as a secondary or third foreign language?
To me this is a very unusal thing. I think that learning Spanish, French or Russian is far more useful.

Since few years in elementary kids learn a little bit of English and some local dialects depending on the area.
In the 1st year of middle school you choose your first language between German and English then in 3rd year there is a shitload of secondary languages.
Depending of the school, yes, as a third language
is german popular?
Some high schools do, here. Varies from high school to high school here. It's only ever optional though.
Secondary language must be French, as it's an official language.
You're right, German is useless, but it's sad that it came to that
German was main international language to learn in Soviet Union. Not it's English.
No but you can kind of gauge the social standing and/or academic performance of a (former) French student by asking them what language they choose. Good students tend to choose Germans while suckers went the easy route and tend to choose Spanish.
English and German were mandatory in my primary and the first two years of high school. The last two years it was optional.
