The two pie charts provided showcase a comparative analysis of British students with an ability to speak different languages apart from English. The data were taken from a specific university in the United Kingdom in the years 2000 and 2010.

However, there were more students learn two other languages at an England university in this decade; the proportions of students rose from 10% to 15%. The similar stituation can also be found in the number of students who could speak another new language.
Between these 10 years, which is quite interesting that the proportions of students who learnt German were always 10%. And we can notice that 35% students didn’t learn any other foriegnal languages in 2010, compared with the number in 2000, there was a 5% decrease.
