The standard of living is way higher than the UK. I have a 74sm apartment with 15sq balcony for €650 a month including all bills. It's 15 mins to work. The beer is good. The people are interesting and there are billions of places to go out.

For a British person there is therefore a) less incentive to learn a new language because many forrins speak a good level of English and b) it's hard to know what language to learn that will be of any use.
