I went to Eurodisney last week. Everyone of the employees which I talked to, spoke French or English. Isn't that normal?

most people can read english but i think it is important for users that visit this site for the first time that there is information and an good introduction in their native language

Yes, we do. :-)
We learn at least 2 foreign languages. I have personaly learned English, German and Russian (+ a year of latin).

I am also serious when I say that most of the time the english-speaking people don't know a single word in a foreign language... they don't have to do any effort as everyone "should" speak english.

The old people have not learned any foreign language at school, that's why the french are known not to speak any foreign laguage.
It has changed for decades. All the french pupils learn english at school. even if they might not ALL speak well.

The European Union should help all the countries of the Union: we have 11 official languages, we will probably have 20 in 2004.
Every European should speak 3 languages (his mother tongue + 2 foreign)...
