I am happy to keep local languages next to English. But look at this board. People from Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK all agree on a strong allegiance and protecting European values.

But Eastern Europeans, French, Italians and Spanish are rarely to be seen, because their English is terrible. They need to start using English. We need them on board for a united, strong and right-wing Europe with a strong military, a strong economy and strong and traditional European values.

Absolute bs. Your refusal to learn English makes you poor, bankrupt and fucking stupid.

Yes, Germans are equally retarded when it comes TV and dub American films and TV shows. But Germans are increasingly getting their entertainment over the internet, so their English gets better.

But the French? You hate everything English. Why? Why do you insist to speak French when doing business, when going on vacation, when talking to other people? English IS the world's de facto language, why not accept it?

Losing your culture is the worst thing than can happen to a nation, but I'm not surprised you're relativizing that, since you couldn't sleep at night if you didn't, considering the mess that is German "culture".
And don't fool yourself, French people can perfectly fit in the globalization while not talking english as perfectly as the great cucks Germany and Sweden. You should probably ask yourself how shit is your country when your own people have to resort to talking a foreign language if they want to have a job. And don't fool yourself, French people who speak english are far more successful in global business than Germans who do, because everybody knows Germans are autist betas who can't do anything right in the long term.

That is what your socialist president is telling you. But look at the facts. You have high unemployment, enormous debt, no future for business, a state which nationalizes and protects failing enterprises and a school system which hates English, so it only teaches French - leaving the next generation of French to fend for second and third level jobs just like Romania or Albania.

I pity you. France was once a great nation, now look where it is heading. Germany may be fucked because of refugees, but the French are fucked due to their arrogance and French attitude of "outside of France, nothing makes sense".

Yes English as EUs and later the whole worlds official language is great idea. Maybe add a few words where English cannot describe something. It is necessary to have a common language so white people of different regions can communicate and not be devided by language barrier. English is the easiest civilized language to learn, yet it can be used quite elegantly too, and it uses latin letters not some weird drawings as asian, middle eastern and cyrillic letters.

Because the way they mark students is fucking retarded.
They make us learn irregular verbs by heart and you just have to fill columns with them. We're not practicing, we're not watching movies in English, none of this shit. The written comprehension is fucking retarded aswell, even if you have perfectly understood the text and could translate it and explain it to a retarded kid, you still lose points because you haven't answered the questions in the exact same way they expected.

Sorry, but that is my whole point. Italians, French, Spanish, Eastern Europeans don't want to speak English on top of their own languages. Look at Spain, 75% or more Spaniards can't even hold a simple conversation in English. How is that even possible? Same with Italy, how is it possible that some 20year old girl in Italy cannot write a simple English sentence or read an email in English?

It is not about England, Mr. Americunt. It is about America. America has introduced English as the world's language for business, diplomacy, engineering, science, travel, the internet, everything.

The UK could leave right now and I would still say the EU should put out a goal to have 90%+ Europeans speak a decent English. It is in our economic and social interest.

Fuck off, mate. The German culture is similar to American culture, because the largest immigrant group to America was Germans. We have the same work ethics and pretty much the same religious composition (more protestants than catholics).

Historic reasons. They started to dub films in the past when the general masses's English was basically non-existenct but American movies started to be popular.

And now it is too late to stop. People go ballistic if they have to watch films in English with subtitles. They have become lazy and accustomed to foreign actors' German voices.

It's obvious you have yet to find out a significant majority, older generations are still alive and well.

And as soon as this lot starts popping out children, they will be even more proficient.

If your country speaks english it is honey for migrants. They don't even have to integrate, since they speak the only useful language : English.

Actually the data for Spain is not very reliable. Take into consideration the fact that we didn't get mandatory public education untill fairly recently so our older generation is dragging behind.

Amongst young people we have a fairly decent level. Not even close to Northern and Central European standards ofc but we are rapidly improving.

And yet, there are significant difference in English proficiency between EU nations - among the young.

Eurobarometer: 98% say language learning is good for their children, but tests highlight skills gap

However, a separate European Commission study, the first European Survey on Language Competences, highlights that there is a gap between aspirations and reality when it comes to foreign language skills in practice: tests carried out among teenage pupils in 14 European countries show that only 42% are competent in their first foreign language and just 25% in their second. A significant number, 14% in the case of the first foreign language and 20% in the second, do not achieve even the level of 'basic user'.

The number of Europeans who say they can communicate in a foreign language has fallen slightly, from 56% to 54% . This is in part due to the fact that Russian and German are no longer compulsory in school curricula in Central and Eastern countries.

The proportion of pupils who are competent in their first foreign language ranges from 82% in Malta and Sweden (where English is the first foreign language) to only 14% in France (learning English) and 9% in England (learning French).

One of the most striking changes since 2005 is that the internet has encouraged people to broaden their 'passive' reading and listening skills in foreign languages. The number of Europeans who regularly use foreign languages on the internet, through social media for example, has increased by 10 percentage points, from 26% to 36%.

I only speak english because you anglos are even worse than we are at languages. When there's 3 french and an anglo at a reunion we have to speak english because the anglo doesn't speak french. How well we speak english isn't even taken into consideration so it gives the anglo an unfair advantage because it's much easier to think fast and be confident when you speak your own language. So yes there's a problem with the teaching of english in France and I know from my surroundings and videogames that the new generations of french people also have a shit english (especially when we're told since primary school that french accent is sexy to girls) but the real problem is anglo imperialism. I'd much prefer Europe to have an irrelevant language like finnish as it's official language rather than english. German is an irrelevant language but they tend to have problems handling power when they have it. Fuck the eternal anglo

former soviet countries are poor because the western ones want to keep them poor.

Look at newest things in Poland.
EU doesn't like the current government.
One of the credit companies downs polands rating from A to BBB and threatens to down it even more.

Soviet Union did build a lot of schools, hospitals, libraries, homes.

Everybody had access to schooling, medical help, and a home.

Who else did build things in baltic countries ?

they didn't fucking exist.
Before WW I, they didn't exist
After WW II, they didn't exist

Are you really going to tell me they built everything in that range of 20-30 years ?

I personally agree that a single world wide language needs to be accepted as something everyone learns.

I don't honestly care which language it is, English just happens to be chosen thus far as that language.

Perhaps because the majority of users are Americans, Canadians, Brits and Australians? Why do you hate your language so much? I agree with the French approach in this case, language is the single most important part of a country's culture and should not be thrown away for the sake of convenience...

It's also very good for personal reasons. There is 100x more art in English than in Serbian just because of the huge anglo population. You can't really appreciate it without understanding English. You can also educate yourself in other fields more efficiently online if you speak English.

Just because your country is shit doesn't mean every other former Soviet country is that way too.
Estonia has existed even before the first republic. We have always had a strong sense of unity.
When the Soviet Block started to end Estonians didn't even have to use any weapons to claim our freedom. We SANG ourselves free. No kidding.

Faggot.

>meanwhile in Serbia

Serbia was never occupied either...nor Yugoslavia.

>built in spite of the Russians

kek, if you did anything in spite of Soviet Union, you'd get deported to Siberia.

It was obvious they've supported it.
It wasn't just in baltic countries they've built those things, it was in every fucking country, including kazakhstan, tajikstan...

Please go back to fantasy land.

Better idea:
Kick out the red and grey countries and form a functional European Union with all the blue states.

Jesus, you are dense.

You know how civilization started? Some apes thought it makes more sense to stay together than go it alone. And one ape said "Wouldn't it be great if we all could understand our grunt sounds?" And a common language was started.

Now, guess what would have happened if the other apes said "What the fuck mate? You wanna take away my individual grunt sounds? You want to take away my culture?? Fuck you, I will never grunt like you!"

Dude, English has been chosen, period. There is no language rivaling it.
