in the Netherlands in school we are taught in 4 languages for at least 1 year, 3 languages for 2 years and 2 languages for 4 years (moslty even during complete education, minimum of 10 years).....the choice is on the student.
In general I think a lot of people have a fear of writing/talking in foreign language.....I know my English/German/French is bad but I won't limit myself in not communication with others, but I can understand if they won't.
This has nothing to do with thinking English is the WORLD-language.....just looking at majority of World population, Chinese is the language number 1.....if looking at countries speaking the same language; we all should speak Spanish on this forum.
The foundation of this website is English, other are foundated in Spanish, French, Japanese, Greek, Portugese, German, Dutch, and loads more of languages.................
The gost in my machine is gone and for this night will be my last post, or maybe not.........
Ciao Pim
ps, that is my best Italian......scuzza
