white sun of the desert the blog of tim newman search main menu skip to primary content skip to secondary content home about window on a burning man post navigation ← older posts learn english: anything else is a hobby posted on august 8, 2018 by tim newman 33 i’ve probably written about this before, but this tweet reminded me of one of my pet peeves. % of students learning a foreign language ( @pewresearch ): norway: 100% austria: 100% france: 100% croatia: 99% poland: 96% bulgaria: 93% sweden: 92% (european average: 92%) finland: 84% denmark: 82% germany: 82% netherlands: 70% belgium: 64% us: 20% — christian christensen (@chrchristensen) august 7, 2018 my first response was, well, yes: all those non-english speakers are learning english. to which the author’s response was: uh, yeah. that’s a second language. and 25-30% learn french, spanish and/or german. — christian christensen (@chrchristensen) august 7, 2018 so non-native english speakers learn non-english foreign languages at approximately the rate americans do. in short, only about 20-30% of any country bothers learning a non-english foreign language. a lot of polyglots like to get all high and mighty about brits and americans not speaking foreign languages, but for non-english speakers learning english is an obvious choice with benefits which can be realised immediately. but what foreign language should a brit or american choose to learn? the answer isn’t so obvious, and i put the question to my interlocutor: in the us? spanish. in the uk? german, french, spanish or chinese. — christian christensen (@chrchristensen) august 7, 2018 well, i’m a brit and i confess it’s not immediately obvious to me i should learn chinese i assume he means mandarin). at least, not in the way it’s immediately obvious a norwegian or lithuanian should learn english. and the fact he’s listed four languages suggests the choice isn’t all that obvious, doesn’t it? i mean, you spend a few thousand hours learning spanish and then what? you go on holiday? and here’s the thing: people ( including mr christensen ) think being able to speak a foreign language opens doors for business and employment to a far greater degree than it does. for example, i know a turkish lady who went to china in 1997 and learned mandarin, and it was very useful because at that time few people spoke english. but within a decade anyone doing international business spoke english, and now it’s not really an advantage except for social occasions and practical, day-to-day living. the turkish lady eventually left china and now works in france, where her mandarin is utterly useless save for a few comical occasions when she meets chinese on the street. she is now struggling to learn french, but what really matters is she speaks and writes english to full professional fluency. that is what her employers are interested in, as well as her professional skills. i know another woman, an american, who is fluent in english, french, mandarin, and russian. sure, she has certain advantages when she’s actually in france, china, or russia but she struggles for work because her professional cv isn’t very strong. employers would rather hire an an expert who only knows english than someone with a weak cv who speaks a dozen languages. in my own case, my erstwhile multinational employer was not in the slightest bit interested that i spoke russian: when i tried to invoke it to get assigned to russian projects, nobody was interested. those who think americans or brits learning a foreign language will give them some sort of business or economic advantage have no idea what they’re talking about (christensen is a professor of journalism ). if you want to do business with the chinese as a foreigner, you’re better off improving your product or service such that they want to buy it rather than wasting hours learning mandarin. now if you want to live in a particular country and get among the local culture, learning a language is highly recommended if not essential. but please, enough of this sneering at native english speakers for not learning foreign languages: take english out of the equation and hardly anyone else learns foreign languages either, and when they do it’s basically a hobby. finally, i’ve noticed a lot of the sneering comes from polyglots who were gifted languages as a child, either from a foreign parent, going to school abroad, or by growing up in a country where a second language is learned from birth by default. those who’ve learned a foreign language as an adult tend not to pass remarks on the subject, much less sneer at those who haven’t. posted in languages | 33 replies open thread posted on august 6, 2018 by tim newman 47 i’m off to the south of france for a couple of days, then onto annecy. i doubt i’ll be doing a whole lot of blogging, but we’ll see. in the meantime, why not discuss stuff among yourselves? i might even join in. posted in blogging | 47 replies forced pride posted on august 6, 2018 by tim newman 29 this got me wondering… fantastic start to #pride2018 . have a great time today. stay hydrated, slap on that suncream, keep all your personal belongings with you and embrace the celebration of inclusivity and diversity. @pridebrighton pic.twitter.com/iwbvlpqugz — sussex police (@sussex_police) august 4, 2018 …whether taking part in pride marches wearing rainbow stripes on your face was compulsory for police serving in british forces. or is it one of those things which are common in modern organisations whereby it’s wholly voluntary but if you choose not to take part you can kiss your career goodbye? my guess is some police officers are happy to take part whereas others are very much against it, perhaps with the latter group being made up of old-school police approaching retirement. i wonder if the police officers union has been approached by anyone who objected to taking part but feared their career may suffer, and if so what their response was? my guess it’s a matter of time before ordinary employees in corporate jobs are herded into the streets to wave rainbow flags during pride month. we may even be there now : at the annual pride parade in london this year, corporations like barclays, citibank and starbucks led the parade at the front of the party while historical groups who have stood with the lgbt community in the uk for decades were pushed to the back. my guess is people are going to start getting awfully sick of this, and a lot of them will be gay men and women. posted in business , culture & society , police | 29 replies why actors should stick to reading from scripts posted on august 5, 2018 by tim newman 19 while i was writing my post about the death of stalin i came across this interview with jason isaacs, who plays marshall zhukov. it starts well enough, but pretty soon we get this from isaacs after the interviewer successfully turns the whole thing into an exercise in trump-bashing: well, the question we get the most now is if [iannucci] made this [film] about president trump. the answer is no. it’s timeless. it’s about any time there’s a situation where there’s irrational and terrifying behavior happening. one of the things about the film that i think has worked so well for audiences is that although it’s specifically about the panic and terror in the shadows of stalin – and the power vacuum that emerged when he died – it’s applicable to so many other situations and so many different countries and politicians of all stripes. we made it in june 2016, so at the time, it felt like it was about brexit. sure, the height of stalin’s terror was just like brexit. little wonder actors are considered to be nothing more than people paid to read someone else’s words while looking beautiful. he goes on: i think many people understand there was a big smoke-and-mirrors act just over a year ago and that the person in the white house is not who he said he was and is unable to do the things he said he could do. erm, he’s donald trump. he’s been a h
