Excuse me but I find your statements regarding both French and Irish to be hard to believe.

Charles De Gaulle once remarked to Éamon de Valera "It's like I'm still in France! Vive le France! Vive l'Irland! Vive l'Irland Nord libre!" Upon arriving at the Alliance Francaise in Belfast, as he spoke at the annual conference of Irish Freemasons (conférence des francs-maçons irlandais).

He later described Northern Ireland as "One of the proudest francophone nations in the world".

French is probably considered the "Elite" language here, in that it's still likely the most popular language to learn at private schools. French culture is still highly admired amongst the upper classes here, as in Britain as the most sophisticated culture on earth.

Due to our isolation though, English is the only language most wealthy people will speak unless they're immigrants themselves.

>Irish is too rural for bloody Belfast - the second biggest city of Ireland
That's sad.

THEY'RE SO CUTE but a little bit cringey

I'd say English only because it's not rare to listen to the famous people on TV talking about trips to Miami and whatever. Academically speaking, I'm not sure. Maybe English as well but, overall, we as a whole like to use Spanish for everything (although using a few English words in between for names or new gadgets and shit).

>>71824351
You're being rused.

Probably French too, but the great exodus to France in the 60s means that a lot of people from the lower strata of society now speak French, so just speaking French is not a guarantee of being from the elite

on the other hand, if you belong to the elite you must know french

>>71824680
I would think English would probably be the answer for all of Latin America.

Do not speak anything other than Japanese at any class.

>>71827610
Well yes, we ARE stupid, but not for that necessarily. The French have a long-standing association with art and literature and science and shit. It makes sense to me.

>>71818167

In order to be more globally connected the more wealthier people tend to use Esperanto, which is routinely instructed at the more exclusive grammar schools. In contrast our public schools tend to have a focus on Indonesian or Mandarin.
