I think it should be complusory for all children to learn minimum two other languages in school....I wish I paid more attention to my french lessons. Not only that I think the govt should subsidise for adults to learn another language or two encourage us to go to evening or part-time or even self learn at home another language....afterall it will prove for the benefit of the country. You made a very good point Blackbeauty of how the English expect their mother tongue to be spoken in every country they visit but make no attempts whatsoever to learn the language apart from

1. how much is it

2. a pint of beer please

3. where is the toilet

4. what do you mean you don't do a full english breakfast

..... and finally the best yet...

5. DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH OR WHY DON'T YOU SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!!!
