Tragic. But the actual conditions tell that in schools the most convenient foreign language is english, for obvious reasons. The same has happened in East Germany, where russian was once the star of languages and nowadays survives pathetically in teaching programs. The era of french has also declined, and probably the same happens for other languages.

the reading bit of german and french is for everyone
you can choose to also learn it speak/listen/write germand a/o french, which i obviously didn't do

Only German you in The Netherlands need to know is: immer gerade aus :P

Hoi Ottjes, I've been around here for a while, once in a while a cloggie shows up :)

I was one year ahead of the second phase.. I count myself lucky.

Rutwig, when I was in high school, they were actually telling me that German would become the first language.. luckily for me that didn't turn out to be true. I am going to go back to university again coming year and the communication language will be English, no Dutch anymore :S the process has begun.
