Pupils to be taught foreign language from first year of primary school

Pupils to be taught foreign language from first year of primary school - The Daily Record

This is a great plan to get kids bilingual when the first attend school. We, in Britain, have a terrible record on learning a second language. English is the language most used throughout the World. Every aircraft pilot and air traffic controller conducts conversations in English.  Much of international business is conducted in English.
In Europe just about everyone in the main cities certainly speaks English and outside of the cities most people can get by in English too. We in the UK just rest on our laurels having the most used language and expect others to understand us. The infamous quote of, 'why do these foreigners not understand me?' sickens me. When we go abroad we are the foreigners!!!
I can get by in French, learned at school and have a very little German, learned from war pictures!!
