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

 @9JY2C2Hanswered…1mo1MO

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.

 @9JL9HS7answered…2mos2MO

We should embrace the diversity that immigrants bring whilst also providing resources like free language courses

 @9H5WFBHanswered…4mos4MO

They should atleast know some basic English but the government should provide free language courses.

 @9H4DZ4Fanswered…4mos4MO

Embrace diversity in language but also teach English to make it easier and less stressful for all immigrants

 @9GQXWS5answered…5mos5MO

I think we should encourage but not require and I think the citizen test having questions about traditions and customs is pointless, it should focus on laws and how to function in the country

 @9GQ4C7Vanswered…5mos5MO

I do not believe they should be required, but encouraged and provided with easy access to be able to learn.

 @9GN8VZRanswered…5mos5MO

It should not be required but recommended as to let everyone have a universal language and method of communication

 @8YPK9B4 answered…5mos5MO

No but this should be strongly encouraged, and support provided for immigrants to learn English for free.

 @9FM4K3Panswered…6mos6MO

Learning the language would be useful for immigrants for daily life, such as shopping or travelling. It should be encouraged but not mandatory and courses should be free.

 @98S5SVYLabouranswered…1yr1Y

They should not be required, but should be given resources to either learn or improve their ability with any language native to where they live.

 @98R6CLWanswered…1yr1Y

No, we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country, but provide incentives for them to learn English

 @98QG4NGanswered…1yr1Y

Yes - but only basic English. They should be providing official free online courses at library’s that are open to the public, or on the gov website. Or any physical copy available.

 @98Q32FZanswered…1yr1Y

 @98PWJBNanswered…1yr1Y

No, not required - but the government should provide free language learning courses

Only if they cannot show proof that they are going to learn English and can show progress of learning English once living here.

Either one of the National Languages of Isleland with Special Status.

No, but language services should be offered for free and made accessible

 @98CQS5Fanswered…1yr1Y

no, but the government should have resources available to teach if needed

 @98375NRanswered…1yr1Y

 @97YWTWJanswered…1yr1Y

 @97XX73Xanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but we should also embrace diversity and multilingualism that immigrants bring to the UK.

 @97SF5GPanswered…1yr1Y

 @97KCFGDWomen's Equalityanswered…1yr1Y

I think that they should be encouraged and free courses should be available however we should still embrace the diversity

 @97GYB8Ranswered…1yr1Y

No, but they must show progress of learning the language with help from free language courses funded by the government.

 @97B3YDTanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, so they are enabled to be independent in the UK, it should be encouraged and made as easy as possible

 @976SN4Nanswered…1yr1Y

No, but the government should offer free English language courses to all migrants

 @976C9TDanswered…1yr1Y

I don’t think a rule of learning English to be a requirement for immigration would be enforceable on every individual, but free and encouraged access to learning the language would be beneficial

 @974V27WConservativeanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, learning English should be a requirement for everyone in the UK

 @96YMZKQanswered…1yr1Y

No, but the government should provide language learning courses in our native Welsh, Scottish, English or Irish Gaelic

 @96RCSNVanswered…1yr1Y

No, but the government should provide optional language learning courses for free

 @96R9QC7Liberal Democratanswered…1yr1Y

Immigrants should not be required to learn English but instead they should be encouraged to (speaking a common language makes everyone’s lives easier). The government should try to provide free language learning courses and we should not remove multilingual translations from the government documents and services.

 @96Q9TLJanswered…1yr1Y

I doesn't really matter however Immigrants should be made aware that the country is predominantly English speaking and all efforts should be made to learn English, with support and guidance. The government shouldn't pay for tuition.

 @96PQ685answered…1yr1Y

By law no, it should not be a legal requirement. However I would want the government to provide free language courses that were easily accessible via schools after hours or in universities. This would help them gain employment and integrate well with society as a whole - while allowing them to keep their identity and not feel alienated.
