"Britons who learn a foreign language are richer, happier and are regarded as sexier than those who can only speak English, according to a new study."

The whole thing is at:

The more languages you know, the sexier you are?...

Besides speaking Spanish and English and a little bit of French, I am now learning Dutch and Serbo-Croatian,... think of the consequences :-D
