Here the first foreign language we have to learn in school is French. Usually we can't speak it after school. It would be better if we had twice as many English lessons and zero French lessons.

>>78259774
>why do 5% learn german?
because of a agreement of our two nations, to deepen our relationship, we learn french and you learn german. i had for one year french in school because of this shit.

>>78259774
Probably smart people who already know English at that age.

>>78259774
>English

Try again, bozo.

Why do so many take Spanish and Italian as a third language instead of German or something else?

This. Brit english is the school english.

>>78260482

tfw I had 8 years of French, 5 years of English and 3 years of German in high school.

>>78259774
We have mandatory foreign language classes with the choice between English\French or English\German depending on the school.

>>78260599
They teach us the real English in schools.
I even got two strikes on an exam once: for calling trainers "sneakers" and for calling trousers "pants".

>>78261018
No!

>>78261161
You see? A brit would say "No it isn't".

BTFO

I dated a girl who was studying French but she knew zero English

>>78259774
Honestly, taking spanish in first or second language is more retarded than taking german first.

>>78259956
When i was in mid school the smartest took Latin and Greek, the pleb that tried to seem smart took German

here german is seen as the languague of smart people

>>78261741
????!!!!!

>>78261394
I assume it's because it's easier to learn French once you already speak Spanish

>>78261776
i did "europe class" in college, every smart inteligent student did german while spanish was for the """other""""

>>78261819
It's because she studies visual arts
So French is a "romantic, artistic language" while English is a "plastic, materialistic one"
She forgot the part where not only gringos speak English

>>78259774
Maybe people close to the border?

>>78261722
>Latin
7 years of Latin in school, what a waste of time

>>78261722
Yes but no because greek and latin are just optional languages unlike english or german

>>78259774
I had both as a first language, maybe its what it represents

>>78259774
Non-Germans who go to German schools.

>>78261722
I took german as first language starting in 6ème (~11yo),
then Latin as first dead language starting in 5ème (~12yo),
english as second language starting in 4ème (~13yo)
and finally greek as second dead language starting in 3ème (~14yo)
but greek was mostly an introduction until I reached university

And I was living in Bretagne

>>78262028
There arent that many german schools in France

>>78261941
>Germany
Implying your language, country, and culture are going to exist fifty years from now

>>78262231
>le 52% face

>>78259774
>93% of people learn english as their first foreign language
>9% as their second foreign language
So 2% of people learn it twice?

>>78262231
Actually it will, the german culture has produced enough poets, philosophers and musicians to exist till the dusk of times.

>>78262231
If you actually think that German culture and language are going to disappear by the year 2067 then you are a deluded moron who should spend less time on /pol/.

>>78259774
Probably some Alsatians with German ancestry

>>78262293
In my final year of highschool I switch between german and english as my first language
so I am one of those who count as learning it in first and second languages without actually learning it twice.

>>78259774
Probably people who want to make EU related trade deals/jobs or want to study here

>>78261722

People only took german, in the school I went to, to go on the trip to Germany they offered. Now that the "refugee" crisis going on they don't that anymore

>>78261890

She forgot the part where English is a more descriptive language then French

>>78262901
I don't know much about French tbhdesu
It sounds horrid

>>78262953

Latin Languages aren't as descriptive as English.

>>78259774
Now that Britain is leaving the EU, Irish-English should be the standard taught.

>And I was living in Bretagne

>living in briton
>learning German first.

but why? I mean, I always wanted to go to Germany so I focussed on that. It can be tough in my home state to find German classes though, mostly it's just enthusiast groups trying to keep their past alive. It helped, somewhat

>>78260124
International finance is conducted in English, so you're going to have to speak English regardless of whether you're dealing with Germans.

>>78264822
I always wanted to read Hölderlin, Kafka, Schelling, Hegel, Goethe, Kant, Nietzsche, Husserl and Heidegger in their mother tongue.

>>78265087
Everyone already know english by netflix series

Isn't that just the same but with an autistic dialect and swapping every banter with craic?

>>78265091

I just wanted to be closer to my ancestors.

>>78265136

I'm up for this autistic challenge
