Out of Spanish, Mandarin, French, Arabic and German, which language would you most like to learn?

Polls

6th December 2017

A NEW report from the British Council has revealed the languages everyone in the UK should learn – but can you speak any of them?

The five languages at the top of the list are Spanish, Mandarin, French, Arabic and German. The report says that learning to speak these languages would be helpful for the future of the UK.

Only one in three Britons can speak another language, but the British Council say that there are positive developments in education that could change this. These include the Scottish 1+2 language education policy, which aims to introduce every child to two new languages (as well as English) by the end of primary school. There is also the English Baccalaureate and the Welsh Global Futures strategy, which aims to make Welsh pupils ‘bilingual plus one’ (‘bilingual’ means speaking two different languages).

Out of Spanish, Mandarin, French, Arabic and German, which language would you most like to learn?

xmasfan · 6 years ago

Mandarin is definitely the best language to learn. This is because China is a huge country and is good at business. This could be helpful in your future and other people's future. Also I am learning this language and it is a fun and relatively easy subject (hard at times).

ZENCE40 · 6 years ago

I would really like to learn Arabic which is my friend is teaching me some. My cousin's husband also helps me as I think it would be really useful to learn lots of different languages.

Jewab99 · 6 years ago

I’d like to learn Spanish, because some of my family live in Spain. I already learn French. It would also be cool to learn Arabic, because it is a completely different language.

rocker26 · 6 years ago
