What languages do people in the UK speak?

One in four people in the UK regret never learning another language, according to a recent British Council survey involving 3,000 UK adults.
We went about asking people in Manchester what languages other than English do they speak, why is it important to learn a new language, and what are the best ways to start learning?
Watch what they had to say!

The British Council seem to have forgotten that Wales exists and quite a lot of us siarad Cymraeg 😬 🤦‍♀️

Honestly I don't reckon school is at all the best place to learn a language in Britain, it's the best place to learn how to get good marks on exams on foreign languages but that's as far as it gets

I got French A level A grade in 1983 but it's never been at all useful in real life.

Isn’t that more a case of you not wanting to use it than it not having use?

My goodness 1/4 people regret not learning a language means there is a 75% chance you’ll be ok 😂. Regardless, I love learning my russian as an adult due to being adopted by my dad. Мне нравится русский, потому что это красивый язык, и многие люди говорят на нем, но это сложно. 😅
