I found my high school German class helpful in forcing me to learn the fine points of grammar. I had to comprehend it in English and German to cement the concepts. It was a far better education than the "English" classes in my regular curriculum.

I had friends who took German, who told me similar things. The one who took Russian told me it was a waste of time, but he did well for his GPA.
