Almost two in three Britons are unable to speak a language other than English, i. e. monolingual, in effect, the worst record in Europe, a study done by the European Commission, has formed. This compared with an average of 44% across the EU and just 1% in Luxembourg.
The study also proved that English was the most widely-spoken foreign language throughout Europe, with 51% of EU citizens able to hold a conversation in English, including 13% for whom it was their mother tongue.
The report warned that there was growing divide between multilingual and monolingual Europeans," A multilingual European is likely to be young, well-educated or still studying, born in a country other than the country of residence, who uses foreign languages for professional reasons and is interested in learning. " the report concluded. "As a result, it seems that a large part of European society is not enjoying the advantages of multilingualism. "
Tamzin Caffrey of the National Center for Learning Languages, said Britons could lose out because of laziness. She said, "there is sometimes a very self-important view that people from other countries will learn to speak English, so we don’t need to bother to learn to speak their languages. Britons are missing out on a wonderful chance to work together with other countries on holiday or on business because they don’t speak the language. "
Ms Lemmens, 42, who has lived in the UK for five years, said," When I was growing up, I had to take at least two foreign languages to finish high school. I started Latin as my first language at age 10, English as my second and French as my third, I learnt Italian after I left school. Learning a Ianguage really is a life-changing experience. It enables you to really experience different cultures and it opens the world up to you.
