English and I'm good at Spanish, having learned it in schools and lived in Spanish-speaking countries, but I should be better. Is it me or are almost all the multi-lingual people in the thread from countries outside the UK?

There is no need for UK or US people to learn new languages as English is the worlds business language.

First of all I'd disagree, although English is currently the world's business language being multi-lingual is very practical in business. Not to mention Chinese will be more important than English soon. More importantly, there are other reasons to learn a language. Even though Spanish isn't "useful" for me in my career in any way, I'm very glad I'm more than proficient in it and can speak/write it very well. Understanding young people is really difficult though, and when they're talking amongst themselves I'm pretty lost. That I didn't do a better job learning it while I was in Argentina (I was a lazy stoner at the time) is one of my biggest regrets in life and is a reason I may return one day.
