Refering to the article about  learning foreign languages. I'm completly surprised by the infromation that more and more British schools withdraw foreign language from curriculum. Students, who graduated from such a school, will be devoid of opportunity to develop himself, acknowledge other cultures or at least work abroad. I know, that many British will say they speak English fluently and it is one and only universal langauge and a I agree with them to some extent, but still they cannot limit themselves and younger generation. We need to learn other languages as langauge means culture, and culture means identity, In the time of globalisation knowing at least one foreign language is essential and ineviteable. In my opinon, sooner or later, every person (including British students) will be forced to learn and use a foreign language. Moreover, I need to add it won't be English because it is not a " foreign language" anymore. That's why, my dear colleagues, we need to focus on our French and German classes!
