So it's Christmas

[Sheilbh]

Yeah I have to say the key factor in me moving to Britain in particular was that I already had to learn the lanugae to pursue my nerdy hobbies. :p

When I was growing up the Scottish government decided that all primary school teachers would learn French. The problem was the vast majority of primary school teachers didn't know French. There were lots of inset days for a year or two. Looking back I realise it was all of the primary school teachers doing exactly one lesson ahead of what they were teaching kids.

I don't think the number of Scottish kids (or teachers) who can actually speak French has actually increased much since then
