Are you sure that's the case in the UK too?

Not entirely.
I do know that Canada, which is much more British in its univeristy system than the US, also has foreign language requirments. It's my understanding that these requirements are not a US thing, but rather are derived from the old country.

You definitely don't need any language qualifications to do a Masters or PhD here.
I know numerous people who are doing them/have done them who don't know more than the most rudimentary GCSE French.

We aren't forced to do foreign languages here either. I take German, but that's because having done it all the way through high school it seems silly to give it up now.

Kate: "hey my german dictionary didn't have half of those long words so its not my fucking damn fault!!! god damn"
My comment was not aimed at you, but at the creator of that wonderful German sentence. But anyway, if your dictionary doesn't have all those words you should consider buying a new one. Or look for the infinitive / nominative instead of the derived / inflectional forms, which are in no dictionary.
Talking about Brian and German, Scully once taught me that there is a German version of TMLWKY. Is there no German owner of such a recording who could judge Brian's pronunciation? Same goes for the Spanish version of that song.
Foreign languages and PhD: In Germany for most of the humanities at first you have to know two foreign languages to be allowed to start studying. For Doctor Degrees you need latin sometimes, no matter how many other languages you speak. For natural sciences it might be different. But without English of course you have no chance at all because most of the literature is in English.

As far as I am concerned (as a native German with 'higher' education), there's no such word as 'nimrod'.
But then - I may NOT be concerned!
Brian's pronunciation (in German) is not special, just with a strong English accent - sorry Bri :-(
I also taught German in England (both GCSE and A-levels, and I tell you, you cann pass and still don't understand anything!
So I suppose after 35 (!) years Brian's German is definatley gone, perhaps he knows some from his Munich days (krrruzefixxx!)

I'm referring to myself with the word "Nimrod". Geez, don't ALL of you guys know Pim's (or Iron Eagle's?) nickname for me by now?

Brian has a strong accent when he speaks spanish. I don't like the spanish version of "Another world" since you can realize it's a foreigner who is singing (I can remember those AWFUL Roxette spanish versions).
When you listen to a song I think that strong accent is not nice to hear since it catches your attention instead of letting you hear what he says or how the music is played.
Just mu opinion though!
