See this is where it gets hard to establish why this is, is it because in media in terms of America, Canada, Britain and Australia other countries have learned English to accommodate with this large media market and therefore causing the British population to not worry too much about learning second languages or is it just 'cause were a bunch of lazy ****s who think we're better than the rest of Europe...

very limited french.

I can speak almost all former Yugoslav languages except for Slovenian and Macedonian, but I primarily speak Serbian. I can also speak English, Arabic, a bit of Russian and Korean, and a very little French...

Actually I was thinking more about the business/academic standards across the globe. Any multinational corporation will do business in English. Over here, even Turkish companies give their employees higher salaries if they are able to speak English. A lot of Turkish universities give classes in English (not English classes, I mean the language actually spoken in the university is English). Nearly every university student in Korea or Japan will take English as either a requirement of their degree, or just because they view it to be necessary.

It's not just hollywood movies and the media that's driving this. It's not that "we" think we're better than the rest of the world, it's that the rest of the world has long since decided that English is the global language and that in the grand scheme of thing they'll get left behind if they don't learn the language. If you go back to the colonial era, England not only spread their kingdom all over the world but they established a VERY long history of the English language being imposed on foreign cultures. For the most part, that hasn't really changed much.

English is my main language.

I'm Chinese, so I speak Mandarin though very badly (I'm planning to learn it properly once I graduate, go to one of those language schools)

Text book french. I'm doing it for IB :D

Fluent in English.

Currently in second year of Spanish in high school.

English obviously.

My Irish is ok, and i learned French in school but i've forgotten most of it :D haha

I'd love to learn Chinese though, it's a more useful language than French or German.

Other than English, I speak Italian rather fluently. My dad's side of the family are Italian and I also learnt it from years 7 - 12 at high school. I'm kinda losing it now though, since I don't use it, if you know what I mean. But people tell me if I went to Italy or if I was forced to use it, it would come straight back... like riding a bike?

Fluent English and Swedish.
Sort of intermediate Spanish and Icelandic.
Basic German.

Icelandic is a different case though because while I can read and speak it, I can't really write it since I picked it up by listening to other people. I lived in Iceland back in 2007 but never took any classes so I haven't learned grammar or spelling properly.

And of course, being Swedish makes it really easy to understand Norwegian and Danish. And since I know the Scandinavian languages, English and a little German I can also understand (written) Dutch fairly easily.

Try watching italian movies.
