over here EVERY single kid gets at least 2 years of French, German and English in highschool and has to do at least one of those on his final exams...

on many schools they're starting to give English classes for kids starting at 9 years old
some special schools even offer Japanese and Chinese to those little kids (I want my son on one of those....) to prepare them for a good future in commercial jobs...

not in France (or the French speaking part of Belgium for that matter)....
if you don't speak French perfectly without an accent, you're screwed...
