According to pretty much everything I have heard Hollande is socialist, but he is not radical. I doubt that he will screw up that badly. |

Radical socialism in the US means anything more liberal or socialist than our current president, so... I guess it's a matter of opinion. A sample of his policies:
The other ones I think are too volatile to bring to the forum or I don't have enough economic knowledge to judge properly. I just think that all of the European countries that favor lower taxes on the wealthy will be receiving sizable influxes of wealthy French immigrants, which means that France is probably going to be losing quite a few doctors, certain engineers, businessmen, and upper-tier scientists. |

Sounds alright. Just recently Germany has cut down its nuclear power supply to 0.0% . And the tax stuff is for consolidation of the budget, which is clearly an important target currently. 250,000EUR a year after taxes still sounds neat.Nah. Frenchmen typically speak nothing other than French and within Europe no other country likes that language (disregarding Belgium, French Swiss and Luxemburg, which are tiny). That makes emigration a little hard. I'm sortof kidding, but there is a truth to it. French people have quite a lot of national pride. |

By judging from the amount of different countries that have a language in-common, including small communities around neighboring countries, I would say German. Of course, you will get by on simple English almost anywhere in Europe. French is also a popular language, maybe not as a primary language in Europe, but in the whole of Canada. My language may perhaps be one of the smallest, if going by the population count of native speaking Swedes, which is 8.3 million (as of 1998). Edited by Despellanion, May 8 2012, 02:00 PM.

Wikipedia is great .Spoiler: click to toggle As you can see it is quite a patchwork with lots of different languages. What Despellanion said is accurate. In many parts of Europe you can get along with English very well, especially in smaller countries. My current study program happens to be taught in English completely. This is mostly due to the fact that most of my fellow students do not speak German. |

German and English gets me pretty far in the EU. Though my German is pretty bad, I am able to let them know what I want. And I am able to understand them. |

Depends totally on where you want to go and what you want to do. If you just want to travel, English gets you through nearly everywhere. Only France is quite difficult in this regard, but knowing some French should be good enough. If you want to do something serious in any particular country it would be best to learn the language of this country, although it is not really mandatory. As I already mentioned most of my fellow students do not speak German either. |

Spanish is a pretty easy language to learn, from what I'm told, especially where I live, since there's plenty of practice available where I live (lots of Mexicans in Texas). However, you'd end up speaking Mexican Spanish, which, to my knowledge, the true Spanish people frown upon and view as ghetto Spanish. I don't know how people in Spain speak Spanish, but I know around here people speak it so fast that it's hard to understand unless you spend a large amount of time around them. I guess I'm not very linguistically diverse. I've earned my foreign language credit at my high school with three years of Latin (four after next year, assuming my school counselors don't mess with my schedule). But at least I can say I've read some of the writings of Caesar, Ovid, and Catullus. I'll read some of the Aeneid next year, too. |
