Yes but depending on age as if older the 50 it can be difficult to learn new language but younger should have to
@9LLYNTV 6 days6D
Immigrants should be required to learn a local language, not limited to English, and the lessons should be free
@9LDN5ZY2wks2W
Yes but they will need documents to be translated until they are fluent. I don’t agree with the government providing free lessons but immigrants should make every effort to educate themselves
@9L542774wks4W
Yes, but also UK language education should be better at teaching 2nd and 3rd languages to people with english as their first language.
@9KZG3BQ1mo1MO
No, if they learned Scots, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Irish or England in any of those countries that would be fine, and those languages should be promoted
@9JY2C2H2mos2MO
Yes, a basic understanding of our language should be a requirement to enter the country with exceptions for those in danger but they should have to learn within 6 months of entering the country.
