The charts below show the proportions of British students at one university in England who were able to speak other languages in addition to English, in 2000 and 2010.

The graph shows the percentages of university students in an institution in England who were British English speakers but could speak other tongues in the years 2000 and 2010.

It is clear that

most of the people who could speak other languages were good at

Spanish

in both periods.

Additionally

, the rate for persons who could speak 'Two other languages' and German remained the same,

whereas

the same for the others changed after 10 years.

To begin

with, the proportion of persons (who went to study at the university) who could speak

Spanish

and 'Another language' increased from 2000 to 2010. The

Spanish

portion rose from 30% to 35% and the same numbers for the latter type are 15% and 20%

according to

the graphic.

In contrast

, the French-speaking population experienced a 5% fall in 2010;

however

, the rate for the British who had no alternative linguistic skill collapsed to half (from 20% to 10%) in the 10-year period, surprisingly.

Moreover

, the popularity of German and 'Two other languages' had been consistent throughout the decade, which is indicated by 10% in the chart.

Overall

,

Spanish

was the favourite tongue of the British at that university after English from 2000 to the following 10 years.

Although

half of the other ratios were altered by 5% in the same period, a significant proportional decline occurred in the people of Britain with no other language skills.
