1) Which languages did you learn in school, and for how long?

English for 7 years, French for 6 then voted it off.
2) Which languages would you say you speak with some degree of fluency?

Well German :P And English. All my French is gone, but I already sucked at it in school.
3) Do you think languages get too much attention in the school system you went to, too little, or just about enough?

I'd say about enough
4) What do you think of the remarkable dominance of English that appears in the data?

I think it makes sense, English being THE world language

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
