Most EU students learn two foreign languages: Study



60% of students in upper secondary education study two or more foreign
languages, according to figures published last week by EU statistical
office Eurostat.



6%, however, do not learn any foreign language at all, the data
revealed, while a third of students only learn one.

The latest figures on language skills in Europe, which relate to 2007,
were published by EU statistical office Eurostat last week (24
September) ahead of European Languages Day, which was celebrated
across the continent on Saturday (26 September).
