His friends chose different languages, but they chose the same electives and were going to attend the religion class too. Makoto chose in her first year English, Spanish and Classical Greek, Ann chose Italian and like Makoto Classical Greek and Ryuji chose English and French. Makoto and Ryuji chose English, in order to talk with their friends in Great Britain properly, because they were still struggling. Ann and Akira do know how to speak English perfectly and it would be unfair since they had an advantage.
