W: Hi, Bob. You speak very good Chinese.
M: Not really, Mary. I just know a little. Actually, not being able to speak a foreign language is a bit of a British trait, or a particular British characteristic. The British are generally considered to be lazy linguists. We just don’t bother to learn another language.
W: I guess the main reason is that when you travel around the world you find that English is spoken almost everywhere.
M: Yes, yes, we get by. We survive on just using our mother language.
W: But you seem to love learning languages a lot. How many foreign languages can you speak?
M: Not that many, a bit of German, some French, Polish a little, Chinese of course, a bit of Japanese.. .That’s about it.
W: I’m impressed! Well, what is the second most spoken language in England? Is it Chinese?
M: No, I don’t think so.
W: Then that must be French.
M: No. According to the recent census, 104 different languages are spoken in the UK and Polish is the second most spoken language, followed by Punjabi and Urdu.
W: Then do you have to learn a foreign language in school?
M: No, it’s not compulsory. But recently a campaign was launched to encourage everyone in the UK to learn at least 1, 000 words of another language. It hopes to help Britain increase international trade.
W: 1, 000 words?
M: Yes, it’s called the 1, 000 words campaign because it says a vocabulary of 1, 000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation.
W: That sounds like a good idea.
M: Yes. It gives you self-satisfaction and self-esteem if you can speak another language when you’re travelling. And I think it also gives you an edge in a lot of different areas in the workplace. You feel good about learning a new skill, and you feel good about yourself and it boosts your confidence. Imagine going on holiday to Spain and being able to speak to the locals.
W: Of course it does make one feel good!
M: And there’re also the economic benefits of speaking another language. It gives you an advantage, especially if you are dealing with foreign companies.
W: Yes, it also shows politeness and respect for other people by showing you have made an effort.
M: You’re right. Hmm, I’m afraid I must get going now. I’ll have my Chinese class at 10 o’clock.
W: Oh, I have a class at 10 as well. Ok, see you later.
M: See you.
