Jvb, how come you judge the German school system?
Jvb:
maar datzelfde geld voor frankrijk en duitsland; ze zouden een voorbeeld moeten nemen aan belgie en nederland, die op school engels, duits EN frans leren. => but it should be the same for France and Germany. They should take Belgium and the Netherlands as a shining example, who have Engl., German and French at school => translation correct? Used no translator.
We HAVE other languages at school. I myself had English, French and took up Latin later (was fascinated, cause it's the mother language of all Romanic languages) - we even have Spanish!

Ek praat nie Nederlands nie, maar ek verstaan en bitje Afrikaans - y hablo espanol, hombre, es tu?
I like the variety of many languages - but I for myself prefer English to communicate. Why can't they all exist on the same level with equal rights?
And Barta, I myself had the XP in France that I was forced to speak in French (does Waterloo still play a role? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )
