The pie charts illustrate the proportions of British students at a university in England who could speak languages other than English in 2000 and 2010.
In 2000, 20% of students were monolingual, while the remaining 80% spoke at least one additional language. Among these, 30% could speak Spanish, making it the most common second language. French was spoken by 15% of students, followed by German, also at 15%. Additionally, 10% of students spoke two other languages, while 10% spoke another unspecified language.
By 2010, the percentage of monolingual students decreased to 10%. Spanish remained the most popular language, with its share increasing to 35%. The proportion of students speaking French declined to 10%, while the percentage of German speakers stayed constant at 10%. The figures for students speaking two other languages and another unspecified language remained stable at 15% and 10%, respectively.
Overall, the data indicates a growth in multilingualism among students, with Spanish gaining more popularity, while fewer students chose French as their additional language.
