"Deux bières, s'il vous plait"
"Et voila, €10"
"Merci bien"
I think most UK residents could carry that conversation.

Easy peasy, n'est-ce pas?
That said, it doesn't tend to take people overly long to get bored of conversations about monkeys, trees, aunts and pens, so I naturally revert to the old Anglais.
And, yes, 23%!? Whoever wrote that report clearly hasn't met many English folk.

How many can actually carry on a conversation in English?
|
|

By the way - my remark was not a comment on emigrants or immigration. It was a comment on the inability of some native speakers of a given to carry on a conversation.

I read the report because I was expecting to see 2-3%, but it was 23% - so I looked at the methods and poll questions. It looks like the problem is you can't trust people to accurately judge and report on their own abilities.

Something is out of whack, thats for sure. 23% Ha!

Britain is in the EU dufus.

What is the 'EU dufus'?

|
The political area you live and yourself.
