Paragraph 2. ……………………
Almost two-thirds of Britons know no language apart from their mother tongue, the highest
figure recorded in the 15 EU countries in the European Commission's "Eurobarometer''
survey. That compares to just 2.2 percent in Luxembourg, 12.3 percent of Danes and an EU

16,000 EU citizens said.
Paragraph 3. …………………
But British travelers to Europe need not worry. English is the most common second
language in the EU, spoken by 41 percent of the bloc's citizens. In Denmark, Sweden and the
Netherlands, at least 78 percent of people speak English as a second language.
Paragraph 4. ………………….
Although 47 percent of EU citizens know only their mother tongue, there is wide
agreement that speaking a foreign language is a good thing. Across the EU, 72 percent of
those polled believe foreign language skills are useful, 71 percent said everyone should know
one foreign language and 69 percent said everyone should speak English.
Paragraph 5. …………………
The reasons given why people do not learn languages were lack of time, lack of motivation
and the cost of language lessons. The poll conducted in December, marks the launch of the
European Year of Languages, an EU initiative to promote language learning.
