Almost two in three Britons are unable to speak a language other than English, i. e.
monolingual
, which in effect, is the worst record in Europe, according to a study done by the European Commission. At the same time, there is an average of 44% across the European Union (EU) and just 1% in Luxembourg.
The study also proved that English is the most widely spoken language throughout Europe, with 51% of EU citizens able to hold a conversation in English, including 13% for whom it is their mother tongue.
The report warned that there is a 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, and a person 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, one of the researchers, 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 go to other countries on holiday or on business because they don’t speak their language. "
Ms Lemmens, 42, who has lived in the UK for five years, says, " I started Latin as my first foreign language at age 10, English as my second and French as my third. Learning a language is really a life-changing experience. It enables you to experience different cultures and it opens the world up to you. "
