> Nowadays, if you have access to the Internet, there's no excuse not to be proficient with English.
That is so true. A lot of my compatriots seem to not realize that they are missing an incredible amount of information by disregarding English. And I often find myself angry at them when they try to argue that English is not that important and they don't need to know/learn it. So frustrating.
> France has an official language which means that content is vastly translated and this-is-bad(TM) - the we are slower at getting better at English.
Again, completely agree. I'm a huge proponent of subtitled media content and believe that that's what should be used when showing movies/tv shows on national networks (cable or sat can do whatever they want).
