English is the only language that kids are introduced to in public schools. It's very very basic, but at least it's there.
It remains the only language taugh at public schools all the way to university level, where you can finally try your hand at other languages by applying for extra language classes.
Back in my days, the extra languages included French, German, Japanese and a few more I can't remember atm.
EDIT:
And I obviously mean all this as a second language being taught at schools.
