Italian? That would be pretty cool too. And I doubt a letter would help, seeing as I'd have to get other people to agree (lol, petition). And if I tried to suggest a Japanese class to anyone in my school, I'd likely get the non-interwebz, high school version of "lol, weeaboo" (which would likely be something like "lol, faggot").
Zwanzig schencke durch works rather well ;3
