Spanish is UK’s most needed foreign language

Palma.—The UK’s most important foreign language is not French, or Arabic or even Mandarin Chinese. It’s Spanish.
 That’s the finding of a new report by the UK government’s educational and cultural institution the British Council.
 To come up with the result, the council looked at a range of economic, political, cultural and educational indicators including which countries the UK is currently exporting to, where people are travelling, and future high growth markets.
