One thing people here have not mentioned: depending on your location, you might end up in a class full of native speakers of Spanish who are just taking the class to pass the requirement. That's why I never touched Spanish; because I knew I would be so behind everyone else. I took Russian instead, which is my passive language (parents speak it, I barely do but can understand some), and I did get something out of it; I learned to read and conjugate (and kept finding my parents giggling over my textbook). I only learned because in our classic way, 90% of the class didn't show up most of the time and the teacher just wrote them in. On test days or days when someone accidentally said they were going to have a test and word got around, that class was a zoo. No one would stop talking, the few non-native speakers were lost because the teacher resorted to talking in Russian, oh, and during the tests it would get so loud from the cheating that the teacher would have to shush us every ten seconds.

(And by the way, the cheating was mostly people asking each other what the English question on the test was.)
