The presented data provides the percentage of british students attending an university in England who spoke another language beyond english in 2000 and 2010.

According to the chart, in 2000, the percentage of students capable of speaking french, german and spanish language was respectively of 15%, 10 % and 20%. In 2010 it declined respectively of 5% for french and 10% for spanish, whereas for german stayed unchanged. Moreover we can observe that the ratio of those who master a foreign language which was not french, german or spanish increased from 15% in 2000 up to 20% in 2010 as well as the proportion of those who spoke two other foreign languages which did not make part of the ones mentioned earlier. Eventually also the ratio of only english speakers rose from 30% to 35% throughout the gap time of 10 years.

Overall it is clearly evident from the chart that the interest for the most commonly studied european languages such as: french, spanish and german fade. By contrast more and more students are keen on learning less know languages or more than one only foreign language.
