Foreign languages al school.

I believe that the foreign language that must be learn at school is English, since it is the language most used in the world for understanding between people and institutions.

Disappearing languages

I think that all languages are culture and the most important thing to keep a living language; it is that it is spoken among people.
The government can do what it takes to spread the language and see that people see it as something interesting to them.

In your country.

I am a Catalan, and here we speak both Catalan and Spanish, which, if I believe, is that it is appropriate for institutions in Catalonia to have Catalan as a co-official language.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES AT SCHOOL

I think the same. Nowadays it’s very important to know the English language. But I think too it’s very important to know other languages like Arabian as a result of the immigration.
As far as I know Esperanto and Latin should not be included because there are languages that only know a minority percentage of the population, but I think that it’s very interesting to know it.

DISAPPEARING LANGUAGES

I’m agree with you. All Languages are culture, and the government should increase its use by promoting activities for all ages
I do not think Toggle should to die. It should be a cultural priority to keep a language alive

IN YOUR COUNTRY

I am also Catalana and our mother languages are Catalan and Spanish
All catalans know and should speak Catalan and Spanish, but not everyone wants to do it. In my opinion, both languages aren’t at the same level because Catalan is not appreciated in the same way by the people who live in Catalonia.

I think its really important to manage at least two or three languages. English and Spanish are in the "must know" list. Personally Im trying to learn chino mandarín but its so difficult, I mean not only for havi a diferent graphic representation but the right pronuntiation is even more hard to get.
