There are many good reasons for people from other language backgrounds to learn English.

Here are two ads with examples.



This one is somewhat ruder and probably NSFW

If you're not careful, you might get it stuck somewhere else.

And there are many good reasons for people with English language backgrounds to learn a foreign language. Say 'Agricola'.

Funny ads.

In my experience, most Dutch and Germans speak better English than most English people. The Italians, French and other nations are catching up fast.

In fact, I often get frustrated when my poorly accented attempts to converse in French and German on the continent are returned in perfect English - how can I get better at your language if you all speak mine?

Go find the "I have a bad case of diarrhoea" thread.

That's got more moves *and* might be useful one day
