The charts show the proportions of British students at a university in England who were able to speak other languages in addition to English between 2000 to 2010.
It is considerable that Spanish learners held the highest percentage among other languages beside having a 5% increase in 2010. However, there was a 10% difference in the portion of students who only spoke English by 2010.
In 2000, most of the learners were known as bilinguals comprising 70% of the proportions and a big part of them (30%) were the ones who spoke Spanish. Thus, 20% of British students were speaking no other languages rather than English and only 10% of other students included multilinguistics.
Nonetheless, in 2010, there was a substantial distinction between the portion of bilingual learners with 80% and the percentage of those who were only speaking English or more than two languages with 20% (60% difference) which illustrates the positive fact that more people started to learn a second language in addition to their natal tongue. In that year, the percentage of Spanish speakers and multilinguistics rose in a similar way (both with 5% increase) unlike French speakers’ percentage which had a 5% decrease (declined to 10%). Also there was no change in the proportion of the students who could speak German too (stable at 10%).
Overall, Spanish speakers still contained the majority of learners of that university and the percentage of students learning a new language increased over ten years due to the fall in the portion of those who only know English or more than two languages.
