WTF? besides german i speak english and spanish fluently and i also understand some french and portugese. why do you think many germans dont know any 2nd language? almost everyone here starts learning english in the 5th grade. and its like that since almost 30 years, i met very few people here that didnt know english at all. the only country that probably doenst speak so much secondary languages would probably be the USA, but even there alot of people speak french and spanish. i dont like germany really much at all, but you should be careful when shouting out such generalizations to a big newsgroup. bye simon putz
