Comment on Why France is building a mega-university at Paris-Saclay to rival Silicon Valleyparent

Comments

For a long time French people were mostly unconcerned with learning English. Maybe it's like that in other European countries too, I don't know, but I have lots of French friends so I know its true for them. The French have a lot of pride in their own language, although most of the ones I know wish they were <<bilingue>> (speak English).

"Maybe it's like that in other European countries too"

No, it's not. In most of the nothern or eastern european countries peoples are easily learning and speaking english and other languages. The frenchs are just the french exception. :)

what about the italian, spanish, portugese exceptions?
