In response to Re the new French (Former FT in China)

However, universiry admission academic qualifications would still make a foreign
language important for pupils who aim to study at university!

I studied at university in England and the subject of French, (or any other foreign language), was never even mentioned.

French or any other foreign language is definitely far from pretty useless, which means you have misinformed us!

Even if a foreign language is/was required in order to study at a uni, I am talking about its usefulness in daily life. I had a colleague who spent 7 years doing a PhD in linguistics, and his chosen subject was the Chinese Miao language. Seven years of his life spent on studying a language that is spoken by around one million people in a tiny corner of China.

We were forced to study French, but my colleague chose to study what he studied. Of course, each to their own, but if one is going to devote such a huge part of one's life to study something, surely it makes more sense to study something that can actually be useful?

At least that's my opinion.
