   The only way to encourage an English person to learn another language   
   is to provide an incentive to do so. Can you think of a reason which   
   justifies the efforts involved?   
      
   Everyone speaks English now-a-days, if they do not then wave a few bank   
   notes under their noses and they start talking English, this is especially   
   so in France, none of them speak English but wave a few Euro's in their   
   faces and they suddenly know English.
