dire straights, a little patronising perhaps?! i dont think anyone is complaining. believe it or not i dont fancy learning norwegian so that i can apply to SAS, or italian so i can go to alitalia. i have a second language and it makes me barely any more marketable, because in that one country where they speak that language, they would rather just employ their own people and who can blame them? speaking english as a first language is an advantage, however.
maybe i'll start arabic classes.
