The chart below shows the proportion of British students at one university in England who were able to speak other languages in addition to English, in 2000 and 2010.
The two pie charts compare the share of British students who were able to speak foreign languages additionally to English. The data are available for the years of 2000 and 2010. There is a breakdown by six different categories.
As a distinguishing quality, it can be clearly seen from the first chart that in 2000 the percentage of students who could speak Spanish was by far the biggest among all the categories, 30 percent to be exact. While only 10 % of students could speak German, the same share of students also knew two foreign languages.
As it is shown by the chart, in 2010, the situation was different, but highest percentage of students was still Spanish speakers, 35 percent precisely. Students who spoke only English were 10 percent, and French speaker students proportion was the same.
A particular feature to highlight is that in 2000 the students who spoke French and two other languages were the same, 15% each. However, after 10 years period the percentage of students who knew two foreign languages increased by 5%. Whereas, French speakers number decreased by 5%.
