Re: /Survey: Foreign language knowledge in Europe (and elsewhere) beckstcw Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 05:49:05 AM
I'm an American.

1) Which languages did you learn in school, and for how long?

Spanish for a year...and Farsi for a year after high school.

2) Which languages would you say you speak with some degree of fluency?

English and Farsi.

3) Do you think languages get too much attention in the school system you went to, too little, or just about enough?

Way too little. Knowing another language is such an empowering thing, everyone should be bilingual.

4) What do you think of the remarkable dominance of English that appears in the data?

Um, I'm glad I can read it?
