Reading ______/200
How learning a foreign language changed my life

The number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary

schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium, a BBC
analysis has found.
The reaction to the research was mixed. Why learn a foreign language when
English is spoken by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, some people
wondered. But many speakers of foreign languages extolled the benefits. Two
native English speakers tell the BBC how making the effort to learn a second
language is important – and how it changed their life.

“It gave me the confidence to interview footballers”

When Alex Chaffer moved to Germany four years ago, he could only say “hello”
and “thank you” in German. He had not learnt the language at school, but was starting
off a career in sports journalism and had the opportunity to go to Germany. When he first
arrived, he discovered his accommodation had fallen through. “I had been scammed,”
he said. “I couldn’t speak to anyone because I didn’t have the language, I was lost.”
“The first year I was here I didn’t learn a lot. I then had a German girlfriend that
helped massively, having someone force me to do it and hearing it around all the time.

She would speak in English and I would speak in German.”

The 23-year-old is now fluent and works on the website of Germany’s top

football league, Bundesliga. He said that in his job, he was “embarrassed to not
know the language” and learning German has given him “so much confidence”.
“I would be worried about going to the shops and restaurants,” he said. “Even
professionally, I didn’t interview footballers for three years because I didn’t have the
confidence in my language but now, I can go up to any player. It’s totally changed my
way of living.”

“It’s opened me up as a person professionally and personally”

James Westgarth’s first introduction to a foreign language was at school, a
comprehensive in West London where he learnt French. “My parents had no language
skills but they encouraged me so I could order food, etc. when we went on holidays,” he
said. “The result is a 23-year international career. I spent 13 years at Airbus in Toulouse
and the US and am now a sourcing director at a subsidiary of Lufthansa in Frankfurt.”
The 44-year-old puts his successful career down to his language skills and the cultural
awareness they bring. “Speaking a language helps to break the ice,” he said. “Even if it’s
not perfect, it’s a good introduction.”
From his experience of working in Europe he believes the UK has become “more
and more insular” and that “a language barrier plays a part. Things could be made a lot
easier with language skills,” he said. “I’m still learning German, and when I’m with my
work colleagues in Frankfurt, it helps to show that I’m making an effort.” He added: “If
you see the language as living, if you experience it in daily life, it makes it more real.
They really do help people later in life.”
