EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I'm tri-lingual but in NI you pretty much only get a callcentre job with that, or a low paid customer support job.

If the issue is the same where you are, I'd say people don't study languages or just leave.

The way languages here are taught/lack of foreign tv with subtitles/lack of proximity doesn't help.

Which is the only good thing that could come out of this, Brits finally getting serious about learning other languages.

Of course, to do so it would be helpful to have some sort of union that allowed you to study anywhere in Europe without worrying about a visas and residency permits.

Son is at local secondary, (which academised to avoid being co-opted by an academy chain).
Pre-GCSE choice was French or Spanish, (no option for German).
Post-academisation it has sought to differentiate itself, by chumming up to Harrow School,
(just a few miles away), and offering Latin as a GCSE option as part of the 'English Baccalaureate'.

For bi/tri-lingual candidates with accounting experience the pool of talent from the UK consists of chancers with a bit of schoolboy French.
