ceigered:@ Tarnagook, that's also an international problem, and not just English.

I think that Targanok has pointed out, that teaching English as a first foreign language is very low effective - it were much better if the first foreign language would have been chosen more wisely (esperanto) and then English:

esperanto (2 first years) - minds ordered

I can testify that this system works - I took that path myself. Esperanto was my first foreign language. English was the second (not at school, all by myself).

Yeah I agree. What I'm saying is that we need it too here more correctly, I don't care how, but we need to teach kids how to get language. Even if it's just so they can decipher people who speak cryptically, or just differently to them, that can go a long way (e.g. preventing fights over petty misunderstandings because one man says "God" and one man says "Physics" ).

Of course, if Esperanto is treated to the same legalistic mindset that encourages kids to "know" and not "find out", well,

But there's always hope in this seemingly round-about world of ours haha.

The research has led to the development of a set of recommendations for the implementation of a European multilingualism policy, constituting the basis of the Poliglotti4.eu project, to which nine members of the Platform have committed..."
