I think as the UK becomes more reflective of wider european society we will see a larger choice of languages available. When I was at school it was only french and german, but I think a wider range of european languages should be taught from an early age. I think it would help stimulate educational achievements and development from an early age, and will enable young people growing up in the UK today to work not only in a wider variety of jobs, but countries also. It is quite embarrasing that there are more non-british europeans who can speak english, than british europeans who can speak a language other than english!

In our school the children already learn both English and Welsh in an attempt to keep the language alive
They learn of other countries too, their cultures and traditions
I can't see them having to learn Polish though
We never learnt Hindi when all the Indians came to Britain in the 80s and 90s
And we never learnt any African language when they all came over in the 60s I think you are worrying too much
Britain, like many other generous countries, will always have their influxes of foreign nationals coming in.
English remains the language of business worldwide and unless this changes, I can't see the powers that be pressuring our children to learn any other foreign language

No, but he wanted to dominate Europe and have the ultimate say right up to the Urals. The Siss were to be the waiters in his empire. Hitler started to get unstuck at Munich. He wanted war. If he had had war, he would have soon been in Prague and Britain and France would have looked stupid continuing it, as Hitler had said he only wanted the Sudetenland. Instead he agreed to the Munich settlement. Then when Czecho-Slovakia disintegrated the following year and he occupied Prague it looked like a calculated move when it was in fact an ad hoc one. 'Hitler took the most important step in his career not only without realising it was important, but without realising he had taken it.' AJP Taylor. There was an 'underground explosion' of public opinion and people decided that Hitler 'had to be stopped'. Hence the guarantee to Poland.

I am almost half polish,and studied Polish for a short time in grammar school,wish I would have paid more attention though.
Learning a different language definitely has its advantages,and people who say "learn English",don't even know the language well enough themselves to be so pious.

Why not? There is no real reason why German and French should be the only standard languages. Why shouldn't our children be given the opportunity to learn different languages?

hmm i think its a great chance to learn this language. i was staying in poland for 4 months and learned a bit of polish...its a hard language but very usefull in some areas
i would say, if your daughter has the chance to learn it, do it cause it can be useful in the future

Its not likely for public schools. There are no plans for an AP test. There are many Polish-English private schools in cities.

On my side of the pond--it is Spanish.I am one of the few Americans who does not have a problem with children getting a bilingual education.I think it enriches the learning experience.
