English is a compulsory course in China. I wonder whether it is a compulsory course in the courtries where English is not an official language, such as Germany, France.?
And is it ture that most Germans speak English? Thanks!

英語(yǔ)在中國(guó)是一門(mén)必修課。我想知道在英語(yǔ)不是官方語(yǔ)言的國(guó)家，比如德國(guó)、法國(guó)，英語(yǔ)是否也是必修課。大多數(shù)德國(guó)人會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)是真的嗎?謝謝!

Here in Chile... English is a compulsory course in Schools and at least since one year the Universities are making English as a compulsory course in their careers because they know that is very important to learn a new language…
And it depends of the Schools sometimes…for example I had Italian as a compulsory course in School because my school was founded by an Italian Priest…

It is compulsory in Spain too almost from kindergarten.
Most of those teenagers who leave school at 18 can't speak a word of English, but that is entirely another question.

In France it is compulsory. Not necessarily as a first language, you usually can choose between German and English, but if German is our first language, you'll have to take English as your Second language for, at least, two years.

It is compulsory in Austria to learn "a" foreign language. This usually is English; and courses begin with primary school.

But even those schools who do not have English as first foreign language introduce English as a second foreign language later; there are only very few schools where English isn't first foreign language, and I guess none where it isn't at least second foreign language.

在奧地利學(xué)習(xí)“一門(mén)”外語(yǔ)是強(qiáng)制性的。這門(mén)外語(yǔ)通常是英語(yǔ);課程從小學(xué)就開(kāi)始了。但即使是那些沒(méi)有把英語(yǔ)作為第一外語(yǔ)的學(xué)校后來(lái)也會(huì)把英語(yǔ)作為第二外語(yǔ)引入日常教學(xué);英語(yǔ)不是第一外語(yǔ)的學(xué)校很少，我想也沒(méi)有一所英語(yǔ)不是第二外語(yǔ)的學(xué)校。

I think it's more like in Austria. It is compulsory that schools teach a foreign language, which does not have to be specifically English, although in practice it is.

In Slovenia the situation is similar to the situation in Austria. English is taught as a first foreign language in most schools, the exception being perhaps schools along the border, where Italian/Hungarian is taught first or alongside English. German is also taught as a first language instead of English in some primary schools(I have a co-worker whose first foreign language is German; he later underwent an English language course and learnt the basics there).

斯洛文尼亞情況與奧地利類(lèi)似。大多數(shù)學(xué)校都把英語(yǔ)作為第一外語(yǔ)來(lái)教，也許只有邊境學(xué)校例外，在那里意大利語(yǔ)/匈牙利語(yǔ)是第一外語(yǔ)，或者和英語(yǔ)一起教。在一些小學(xué)里德語(yǔ)也被當(dāng)作第一語(yǔ)言而不是英語(yǔ)來(lái)教(我有一個(gè)同事的第一外語(yǔ)就是德語(yǔ);后來(lái)他又參加了一門(mén)英語(yǔ)課程，并在那里學(xué)習(xí)了英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)。

This made me laugh, is exaclty the same in México. After 12 years of studying English, you must consider yourself lucky if you find a highschool graduate that conjugates the verb to be and uses it correctly. A disgrace.

According to my info, inhabitants of the so called "Latin countries" usually have very bad foreign language programs in public schools and the consequences of such policies are of course known. I can say this is certainly true for Italy, where it is almost impossible to find an Italian who speaks at least some basic English. If you go to Italy, you are dead in the water without some basic Italian and English doesn`t get you far, you can actually do better with Slovene, especially close to the borther in Friuli-Giulia.

據(jù)我了解，所謂“拉丁國(guó)家”居民在公立學(xué)校的外語(yǔ)課程表現(xiàn)通常很差，這些政策的后果當(dāng)然也眾所周知。我可以肯定意大利人也不例外，在那里幾乎不可能找到一個(gè)至少會(huì)說(shuō)一些基本英語(yǔ)的意大利人。如果你去意大利也不會(huì)一些基本的意大利語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)，你走不了多遠(yuǎn)。意大利人說(shuō)斯洛文尼亞說(shuō)得更好。

Yes, we don't put too much emphasis on foreign languages teaching, although I think the younger generation do have at least a very basic knowledge of English. As regards the pre-1950 generation, they probably have a better knowledge of French, since that was the first foreign language taught in schools back then.

是的，我們不太重視外語(yǔ)教學(xué)，盡管我認(rèn)為年輕一代至少該有基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)知識(shí)。至于1950年以前那一代人，他們可能對(duì)法語(yǔ)有更多了解，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)法語(yǔ)是學(xué)校里教的第一門(mén)外語(yǔ)。

Is English compulsory in Italy? Or just any foreign/Europeanlanguage?
I'm confused because I attended high school in Italy (liceo scientifico), but I studied French at school, not English (which was great because I am bilingual anyway - however my classmates studied French too, and they didn't speak a word of English. And other students in my school chose to study Spanish, instead of English)
But then, that was a decade ago, I'm not sure if school in Italy has changed since then.

That was true in the past (indeed, until some decades ago the first foreign language was French). Today the only compulsory foreign language is English and, in the most prestigious secondary school type (the liceo) English and Latin - in liceo classico there's also ancient Greek.?
A minority of students in middle school or high school learn French too. Just in a type of liceo specializing in foreign languages (liceo linguistico), students learn a third language (German, Spanish or Russian).

It makes sense! Thanks for clarifying. I attended a "liceo scientifico" in Italy (I would have loved to attend a "liceo classico" because I wanted to study Greek too, but my parents pretty much forced my choice) and I studied Latin (compulsory) and French (as one of three possible language options - the others were English and Spanish). I graduated in 2000 but I think Italian school was reformed soon after that.?
So now, after reforms, are all students in Italy supposed to study English (no other options available unless they attend a liceo linguistico)? Even if they are native English speakers? Or can native English speakers (attending a liceo) choose a different foreign language to study in school?
Thanks in advance, I find this really interesting!

Well, small contries obviously have the advantage of better foreign language programs in public schools. This is true for Slovenia and probably for most other smaller contries too. In my country most people learn at least two foreign languages in highschools and one(this is due to change soon and two foreign languages will be taught) in elementary school. Most students learn English as a first foreign language, some also German, Italian or other(rarely). In highschools most learn two foreign languages(the second being most often German) and in some highschools(for "turist technician" or "language and classical gymnasiums") three or more foreign languages are obligatory. And beside that most Slovenes have at least basic or passive knowledge of Serbo-Croatian, which means that the majority of Slovenes speaks at least one foreign language actively and have at least passive knowledge of two or three more. The degree of proficiency of course varies as not all schools offer equally demanding foreign language classes.
The reason is probably mentality of the general population. I think this is quite typical for inhabitants of larger countries or of countries that have so called "world languages" that are official in their coutries.

嗯，小國(guó)家顯然有在公立學(xué)校開(kāi)設(shè)更多外語(yǔ)課程的優(yōu)勢(shì)。斯洛文尼亞可能也是如此，其他大多數(shù)較小的國(guó)家可能也是如此。在我們國(guó)家大多數(shù)人在高中至少學(xué)習(xí)兩門(mén)外語(yǔ)，在小學(xué)至少學(xué)習(xí)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)(這很快就要變了，小學(xué)也會(huì)教授兩門(mén)外語(yǔ))。大多數(shù)學(xué)生把英語(yǔ)作為第一外語(yǔ)來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)，有些學(xué)生還學(xué)習(xí)德語(yǔ)、意大利語(yǔ)或其他語(yǔ)言(很少)。在高中大多數(shù)人學(xué)習(xí)兩種外語(yǔ)(第二種是德語(yǔ))。在一些高中(對(duì)于“技術(shù)高中”或“語(yǔ)言體育學(xué)?！?，三種或更多的外語(yǔ)是必修課。此外大多數(shù)斯洛文尼亞人至少對(duì)塞爾維亞-克羅地亞語(yǔ)有基本或被動(dòng)了解，這意味著大多數(shù)斯洛文尼亞人至少說(shuō)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)，并至少對(duì)兩三門(mén)外語(yǔ)有被動(dòng)了解。當(dāng)然，各門(mén)外語(yǔ)熟練程度不相同，因?yàn)椴⒎撬袑W(xué)校都開(kāi)設(shè)相同外語(yǔ)課程。

I guess it has to do with opportunities to use your second language.

Certainly, in Europe it is easier to use foreign languages, plus one has a high number of TV programes in foreign languages and if someone is exposed to them from childhood on, it is much easier to become proficient in those languages later in life.

To a certain point you are right. At least it is easier to learn English in some countries because of the media, English-language pop-music etc., and whoever lives a short distance from the next country where they speak a different language. So the smaller the country, the better are your chances of being good at speaking a foriegn language. On top of that some regions are bi-lingual.

在某種程度上你說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。至少在一些國(guó)家學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)更容易，因?yàn)槊襟w、流行音樂(lè)等都是英語(yǔ)。而且無(wú)論誰(shuí)都住在離他們說(shuō)另一種語(yǔ)言國(guó)家很近的地方。所以國(guó)家越小，你就越有可能擅長(zhǎng)說(shuō)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)。最重要的是有些地區(qū)本就是雙語(yǔ)國(guó)家。

Well, returning to the original topic - In Israel studying English language is compulsory.
About a decade ago the population started to study it around 5th grade of the primary school, but now it's studied from the 2nd grade.
I don't think that most of the Israeli people don't know English. On the contrary, you will be able to find people who at least speak basic English.
On the other hand, the're many people who have good skills in English and they're able to even read books that are originally written in English.
I would like to emphasize that the language skills are definitly not acquired in schools, but from watching TV, reading books and listening to songs in English, so I doubt if the public education provided by the State influences the quality of languege skills.

好吧，回到最初話(huà)題——在以色列英語(yǔ)是必修課。
大約十年前人們?cè)谛W(xué)五年級(jí)左右就開(kāi)始學(xué)英語(yǔ)，但現(xiàn)在從小學(xué)二年級(jí)就開(kāi)始了。
我不認(rèn)為大多數(shù)以色列人不懂英語(yǔ)。相反你能找到很多至少會(huì)說(shuō)基本英語(yǔ)的人。
另一方面有很多人有很好的英語(yǔ)能力，他們甚至能夠閱讀英語(yǔ)原版書(shū)。
我想強(qiáng)調(diào)的是語(yǔ)言技能并不是能在學(xué)校里習(xí)得的，而是通過(guò)看電視、看書(shū)、聽(tīng)英文歌曲獲得的，所以我懷疑國(guó)家提供的公共教育會(huì)影響語(yǔ)言技能的鍛煉。

Public education influences the quality of language skills up to a certain degree. If you know the basics and are properly stimulated for foreign languages in schools, it is easier to learn those languages alone and become fully proficient in them later in life.

公共教育在一定程度上影響著語(yǔ)言能力。如果你知道外語(yǔ)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)并且在學(xué)校里受到適當(dāng)鼓勵(lì)，那么獨(dú)自學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ)并在以后的生活中完全精通外語(yǔ)就會(huì)更容易。

Not necessarily. I very rarely travel abroad even though I live in a small country, so most of my foreign language skills originate from learning in school, watching TV and surfing the internet. Bilingual areas are another thing, in Slovenia, for example, it is quite common to find people with near native command of Italian near Italian border.
Fair enough, however in México we have our very big and well developed TV, Internet and music industry, so there is very, and I mean very little opportunity for people to be exposed to foreign languages if they are not purposely trying to. The few English TV programs that we have are already dubbed into Spanish.?
Now, the boarder thing is a different case altogether and people there actually do speak English with perhaps native fluency but then again their TV stations are both in Spanish and in English, they have a lot of contact with US-americans, and maybe they themselves constantly travel up north.
Now, appart from English being compulsory in schools; globalization is taking its toll and younger generations are way more open to foreign influences, language included.

This is precisely what I was implying. The problem with bigger countries is, that they are too self-sufficient regarding languages and these countries` language policies(which are sometimes very nationalistic and "own-language protective") aren`t helping the matter either. In Europe, I think, there was a debate not long ago whether dubbing should be abolished in countries that use it instead of subtitles, because it seems to influence foreign language learning in a negative way. So, a lot of problems can be solved with a proper language policy adapted to each country and with active promoting of foreign language learning!

In Sweden, English has been compulsory since 1969 from 3rd or 4th grade (9-10 year-olds) through to 9th grade, and nowadays it is also compulsory in most secondary education programs.
We are of course helped by our high exposure to English from the media, computing and the internet. We have virtually no dubbing of English programmes, apart from Teletubbies and other pre-school kids' programmes, which saves parents from having to read the subtitles to their children...??
The degree of knowledge is of course very variable, and I recently found that even people of my age, who would presumably have taken at least 6 years of English at school, were barely able to order a lager in a UK pub. I don't blame the school system, though, but rather people's own linguistic interest and talent. Those who want to, can learn reasonably good English at school.?

在瑞典1969年起，從三年級(jí)或四年級(jí)(9-10歲)一直到九年級(jí)，英語(yǔ)都是必修課。如今在大多數(shù)中等學(xué)校中英語(yǔ)也是必修課。

I know here in the U.S. when it comes to foreign language learning, people generally try their best to avoid it. When I tell people that I study Spanish I get some interesting looks or sometimes they tell me how cool that is but they could never do it themselves. I try to tell them that learning a language is fun and satisfying but my efforts are usually futile. When I told people I'm starting to learn German they always become confused because they have no idea why I would learn a language that isn't widely spoken here. Of course, this opens up the whole new topic because people here in the US don't seem to comprehend the possibility of living somewhere outside the US for more than 2 weeks. But more on topic, here in Florida Spanish is the compulsory language but in New Orleans where my mom grew up French was. Now though it has changed to Spanish. I wonder if it will change to Mandarin anytime soon. I would think not though since Spanish is so important to us here.
