  2. infinitecanadian It's been happening lately. Some are even in Italian and Spanish,....somebody is probably getting fired soon at Euronews i'm guessing.

  3. infinitecanadian Not if you are expecting the channel to be in English, that's for sure. Can't see why they are doing this either, i know that in the Kingdom of Spain there are quite a few Spanish that can speak and read English, so, they don't need it. The Italian's are just as bad at any other languages as the British are, you'd be very hard pressed to find an Italian that can speak another language as you are to find a Brit or other English speakers that does.

  4. infinitecanadian I'm of the opinion that most people should learn German, Dutch, French and forget about English and Spanish. We all have a cause don't we.

  5. infinitecanadian Angry ?! I thought we were being frank,...right ?! We Dutch are direct (we prefer it actually),....didn't you know ?! But if it's practicality you want, we should all be speaking Spanish or Chinese m8. I'm not for either,....French is widely spoken in Europe and large parts of Africa, even in the Middle-East and North-America (including Canada),....and many parts of the Caribbean and Latin-America, even parts of Asia like in Vietnam and Cambodia, that's a reason all on its own to have that in as a viable option. But there the Esperanto language too,.....i'm not in favor of that one either, neither are most 99.9 of the EU in favour of English including me, it's quite a normal standpoint over here.

  6. infinitecanadian Irish like French,....it's given as a subject in school there habitually as is German btw, the UK is finished, not up for discussion as an EU entity period, it's silly to even bring up. Your aircraft traffic story was wrong too, in Africa most air traffic is done in French and in Europe English isn't an lingua franka in air traffic either, French and Spanish are used just as mutch, even German is, in Latin-America it's Spanish, in China the most spoken language on earth it's Chinese, but a friend of mine gives French classes to Chinese pilots there, great earner too. My point is, everybody (unless they're not very smart) should at least be a polyglot, in Europe most people from most countries are,... with the exception of Britain and Italy. Even in my country were the previous gen were very adapt at speaking English and it was known that in the Kingdom of the Netherlands you could speak English to just about anybody,.....that's seriously in severe decline with these last two generations, French and German are (on the other hand) going up rapidly as one of the average 3 languages a Dutch person speaks. English is in decline m8, there's an enormous part of the interwebs you don't have access to if you only speak English, Spanish or Italian, in your neighbours words,...it's Huge ;)
