Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The pie charts illustrate the percentage of British learners at an English university who were capable of speaking more than one language in 2000 and 2010.
In general, while Spanish speakers accounted for significant numbers of British students, there was a notable decrease in the number of English-only speakers.
As can be seen in the carts, a majority of students reported being able to speak Spanish as an additional language apart from English. In detail, Spanis speakers took up 30% and 35% of British students in 2000 and 2010 respectively. Similarly, there were increases in the group of multilingual and those who were able to speak another language. Both groups witnessed a 5% growth throughout the time surveyed. On the contrary, the French-speaking group underwent an opposite trend, with the proportion of speakers slightly dropping to 10% compared to its initial rate of 15%. Moreover, English-only speakers were cut by half to only 10%, making it the most noticeable feature. German was the only language to have seen unchanged figures in both years with the precise proportion of 10%.
