Maybe you should have used a different country to compare. Malaysia was also British.

Cheaper..
Surely they must have to sit the test too though?
Unless I'm missing something
This Country likes to be proud and perfect, they are not. The whole system needs a major wipeout and as much as I hate saying it, a new government..
No mate, to some of them it's virtually their first language. Not all mind.
More so now in the Philippines, even in Indonesia the English levels have risen 50%..
Didn't know that
On a wider point though I do know that in India and Pakistan all the medical schools are (or were) teaching medicine in English
The text books and diagnosis was always in english
Joe knows people from the phillipines. Most have perfect english.
Didn't know that
But thinking about it it makes sense
What I mean is places like India and Pakistan have seen a rise in English speakers helped by foreign businesses (think call centres) and job opportunities abroad
Are we getting a situation where the "typically non English speaking immigrants" will be English speakers yet our "cousins" from the EU aren't ?
I'm thinking of some of the slovaks and romanaions around my way who can't speak English at all
The Romanians and Slovaks will never learn English, these people lived in destitution 30+ years ago behind the iron curtain. Their entry into Europe and free movement was like putting a wasp in the tip of your condom, the shag would happen but you'd get stung for it. When you think about 2 Countries getting rid of their ****, then those 2 along with Bulgaria are well and truly in the top 3..

One of my daughters in law is Slovakian. She has a degree and speaks English fluently. She’s also a good person, wife and mother.
I think not, now people realise that Engish is a must.
I wasn't having a pop, just pointing out that even Asians don;t realise what other Asian countries speak.
Malaysia was a British colony. The Phillipines an American one, their English is neigh on perfect (despite their american twang)
It's from a filmReminds me of that video between an ex-US marine and some cocky piece of **** who's prancing around the ring doing backflips and roundhouse kicks, playing to the crowd. When he eventually steps up, the Marine takes him down with one punch
I'm sure somebody knows the vid and will upload it ...

A lot of Russians are now taking to English.
You'd think he would know he's in a prime position when the other guy has lost his blob. He must have missed that week.Same as me, grabbed something and faced him head-on.. Remember he's an idiot, in crazy mode so put yourself in crazy mode. He gets one swipe of the knife, if he misses then you floor him. Once the knife is out of his hands then do your bit (personally I'd pick the knife up and stick it in his head).. It's amazing what is around you can be a defence tool..
Yeah I got that mate, and knew you weren't having a pop
For me Australia is obviously an english speaking country. Likes of the Philippines and Malaysia (although colonies) still have another national language
But hopefully the point wasnt lost, in that on one hand we have the argument that NHS staff have problems communicating in English whilst someone like the example I gave failed the English test
Doesn't make sense or add up
