The British and Foreign languages

[English assassin]

Welsh? yeah, right... I can't really understand why even the Welsh learn Weslh. I mean, I am all in favour of pride in your culture etc but come on, in the schiools wouldn't it serve the kids much better to teach them a nore useful language? Like, say, Swedish?

They can learn Welsh at home if they like.

P.S Where are you going in Switzerland, EA?

Les Dent du Midi, and Lausanne. Looks cracking. Plenty of mountains, and trains that run on time. Brilliant.

Spanish, cos it's used outside of Europe (more than any other European language too).

I would say that if you were prioritizing (that's right, spelled with a 'z', just like it sounds!), German would be pretty much out, as the Germans by and large seem to speak pretty damned good English.
