LBC Andrew Marr Interview with Richard Simcott on Language Learning Trends in The UK

This short interview was part of a wider programme called "Tonight with Andrew Marr" on LBC. No Copyright infringement meant here. This is taken for fair use to highlight the issue of declining numbers of students taking languages up at school and university in The UK. Here is the full programme link on the LBC Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/catchup/... This is the BBC article on the topic with the report that sparked the topic for conversation: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c88...

You can show your support for keeping these language options open by signing the following petition: https://www.change.org/p/save-languag...
