        We prefer our kids to be smarter, so yes some options. If a class teaching a language can up end cultural upbringing....well the foundation was weak.

        Iran suddenly can't land their planes anywhere in the northern hemisphere due to their pilots' inability to understand instructions. Yeah, we've been here before. (Looking at you, Quebec, but the other way around).

        It is their country, hopefully the people of Iran can shake off their Theocratic rulers, but if they want to keep this particular law it's up to them as a sovereign nation.

        perhaps failing nyt's can get donors to send plane loads of cash to Iran. Failing NYT's = Fake News

        Banning English in primary also done in Quebec. Doesn't work.

        France doesn't teach any language other than french in primary school. Yet look at us being an advanced country with a lot of us speaking perfect English.

        Ahem ... pas une majorité malheureusement. Notre niveau est un peu ridicule face a certains autres pays occidentaux.. l’enseigner au plus tot serait une solution (maintenant voir les moyens et methodes !)

        Je dois être dans un coin bien bilingue de Marseille alors 😅 Je suis d'accord pour l'avancement de l'apprentissage linguistique mais après si il n'y a pas amour pour les langues étrangères on peut pas vraiment faire grand choses pour les élèves

        C’est bien là le probleme et le constat amer : la méthode d’apprentissage des langues n’est vraisemblablement pas bonne en France. Et puis cette manie de tout doubler (emissions anglaises, americaines .. meme si maintenant on peut choisir la vo)

        Merci ! Les sous titres français aide beaucoup avec l'apprentissage et si c'était télévisé tout le monde pourrait avoir un meilleur niveau sans s'en rendre compte
