How true. Spain cannot even get itself together to introduce it as a compulsory part of the school curriculum. Every country is rightly proud of its language and has an absolute right to use it. However, when there are issues of safety, a common language and phrasing must be agreed and taught. This does not mean that, for example, Spain's dominant language should be anything other than Spanish. It does mean that English (or another agreed universal language) should be taught as part of the learning curriculum.
Do you seriously propose that a Russian who was born in Russia and is going to stay in Russia, suddenly HAS to learn another language than his own?
BULL****, Russia has not been conquered by any english speaking country and therefore we will not make it compulsory to study foreign languages "as part of the learning curriculum". They are learned on a strictly voluntary basis and it will stay as such. You, or anyone else from your country, have no say in this matter.
