I haven't Finished my language studies yet either. It's different here in the U.S., most people don't have much cause to learn other than English, or Spanish.

In EU, there's a stressed importance of English (I read and write, but my strange background makes my accent difficult for some people to understand, even in Danish) as well as German and French.
I think it's more of a "know how to talk to your neighbors" thing that really defines what languages are deemed necessary to learn. I'd imagine Spanish and Portuguese are more common in the southern areas, and French in the north, based on your borders.
I can understand Redneckanize fairly well, but I don't speak it. That's a fairly good way to describe it. I'm from the Northwest coast, and our Rednecks are not the same as Southern Rednecks. Not that there's anything wrong with Rednecks, yee haw.
But you have to at least give them credit for trying. Some people visit or even move to another country and expect everyone there to learn their language because they're too lazy to learn the native tongue.

That's how it is with the Brits or Gaels usually. They're usually mocking accents, demanding we speak English or pulling out their phone cameras and telling us to say "rød grød med fløde"
