Sounds like a new topic!

I think the Europe is changing like the rest of the world. its gotten smaller and technology has gotten faster. I think Cellphone plans are a rip off here though...

How has the euro impacted in your country?

Spain's economic growth has been accelerating since 2002. This growth is carried by a sustained domestic demand, weak interest rates and by a good level of investments concerning infrastructures and housing.

Europe is a rip off.

Every country have some cultural differences, but we have also commons aspects.

I would like the same public languages education for 27 member countries.

Native language + English + French + other language (Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Deutsch, Danish, etc...)

A example:
If I would like to live to Netherlands next 10 years, my daughter must to learn native language + English + French + Dutch.

It´s good for the European people.

And French people:
Native language + English + 2 other languages.

And English people:
Native language + French + 2 other languages.

Native language + English + French

Sounds interesting, but it would be OK just to teach English as a foreign language and one extra optional language. I would prefer Spanish over French, and even German, because I feel connected to them more, and besides Spanish is a world language in the developed world, French is a world language in poor countries in Africa etc.

However, I like the idea. If all Europeans would be fluent in English, we would grow together faster and I think it's exactly what we need, in order to make a fist to the USA and China.

Also I think as Europe we should look beyond the boundaries of the EU and narrow the ties with Russia, because they are an European country as well and need to be kept as close allies in order to stabilize the world's politics and shift the power balance from those scumbags in Washington, to the GOOD side of the Atlantic

Yeah, it´s exactly what we need

I prefer all Europeans would be fluent in English and French, but English and French people also be fluent any other 2 extra European languages.

We are stronger together

But why French? Why not the more widely spoken Spanish in that case?

Or even German? About 100 million Europeans have German as their mother tongue, that makes it the biggest first language in the EU...

I think French because is a romance language is extended to other parts of Europe.

Few people speak Spanish in Europe.

Maybe is better for all Europeans, English + 2 others extra optional languages.

Yeah that'd be a good idea... in some smaller countries like Holland it is normal to speak English and 2 other languages. Myself I speak English, German and Dutch, and I understand some Spanish and Portugese, but for example in the UK or Ireland it is rare, even for educated people, to master any foreign language...

But teaching a new language means that the quality of the education is very important... in France people learn English in schools but hardly speak it... that's just a shame...

Myself I speak some English and French, but not fluent

Also I understand some Portugese or Italian, because they are very similar to Spanish.

Well you should just practice it a lot

Go to Mallorca couple of times in the holiday season and score some English sluts, that's good for your mastering of their language

I know

August 2007 @ Mallorca, just surrounded by Dutch people
August 2008 @ Ibiza, just surrounded by English people


This is a reason that I love Europe, also Europeans girls

Euro celebrates 10th anniversary.

The European single currency is ten years old today.

No. Just native language + 1 foreign language (as for me, rather German than English) just because English people are too arrogant to learn another language mustn't mean we have to learn to speak like them. Speak to 10 random people in Amsterdam and they will all say they only speak English, that's how crap our capital is. So, England must be kicked out the EU (they have no Euro, no international free traffic, no European laws)

France still thinks it's some sort of world power, but not anymore by far. So French must me obliterated as an obliged foreign language at schools throughout Europe.

Russia is a 'sinking ship', so we don't need them (population decrease of 0.48 annually). Right now 141 million people living in Russia, in 2050 'only' 110 million, go figure.

Entropa: Stereotypes are Barriers to be Demolished

Today, the Czech Republic unveiled a modern art installation called 'Entropa' in the atrium of the Justus Lipsius builiding of the EU Council in Brussels.

Entropa is the joint work of 27 artists, each one from a different Member State. Each object depicts one Member State using common stereotypes or prejudices.
