Children of the UK: generation monoglot
English is by far the most widely taught foreign language in virtually all European countries, and often as early as primary school. However, in Great Britain, the teaching of foreign languages in schools has decreased significantly over time. The figures are surprennants.
What natives think about?
To translate
by far ............. de loin
widely ............ largement
taugh .............. enseigné
virtually ........... pratiquement
the figure ......... le chiffre

Hi Florent,
Not exactly in the subject but I didn't know where to post this
I heard today that in Australia, French was taught as the foreign language #1 till now; however, it's now replaced by Japanese.

Hi Florent, Gérard !
In recent years there has been an increase in French commercial ventures in Australia which are providing employment opportunities for Australians with a knowledge of the French language.
