And to let you know - I was afraid that some of us - including me - might have scared you off. Glad we didn't.

It's compulsory, although not in Wallonia (Wallonië, the French-speaking part of Belgium), they get the choice between English and Dutch and I'm not sure if either of them are compulsory. Which is why a reasonable part of the Flemish can speak French but only a few people in Wallonia seem to be willing to take Dutch lessons. But I'm not going into that any further, language strife goes back a long time in my country and it'll takes ages to explain it fully. I got English at the age of 13 and German at the age of 17, both compulsory. Though I believe that defers from school to school and the type of education you take.

Languages
When I was a lad it was compulsory to study languages.....dunno what it's like now tho'.
We had to study French from the age of 7-14 and german from 11-14. (you could go on to study both until the end of high school - 16 yrs old). Yeesh it was so boring (needless to say, I never bothered absorbing any of it). |

We had our choice on what language to take. The two most offered are French and Spanish. A lot of schools also offer German, Latin and Italian.
i took Spanish in high school and French in college.

Don't worry about Ruinel, Case Sensitive, she's a bit of an air head. And I don't know what you mean about Germans and lack of humour, my German friend from Hamburg is the craziest person I know!

Why is one flavour of English better than another?

LOL! All right, was 'flavour' wrong in this context?
I want to know why GW thinks British English is better.
