Researching of the topic

I found an article on online that is a press release from a study done in Europe that was looking at the age that foreign languages are started being taught. The title of the article is "Language teaching: 50% of young Europeans learn a foreign language from primary school onwards." In most European countries, at least one foreign language starts being taught during primary school. It continues to be mandatory throughout the rest of the people's education. Some countries even recommend learning two foreign languages at a young age. By the time that European students are in secondary school, a second foreign language usually becomes mandatory as well. Of course, English is the most common language being taught in primary school. This study just shows how low American standards for languages are.
