"Why waste time learning a language like Dutch or Danish (or even German) when most people in these countries have an excellent command of the English language."
I would refer you to the last paragraph of my previous post. But in response, if you can't be bothered to waste time learning their language, why should they waste their time employing you?. AF may well be a closed shop but I would not seek to deride their national pride as in many ways it stands them in good stead. In time they will have to open up if the EU is to work and it may take several test cases to convince them of the error of their ways, but it will happen. However, of one thing you can be sure; the requirement to know French will be paramount. The same for many other countries too. The EU may be centralistic but it will defend each member's right to foment their own culture.
