Learn 1,000 words in a new language urges campaign By Judith Burns BBC News    Britain is losing out on international trade because of poor language skills, say campaigners Everyone in the UK should learn at least 1,000 words of another language, urges a new campaign. The 1,000 Words Campaign stems from concerns that the country is losing out on international trade and jobs because of poor language skills. It aims to confront the view that only the brightest can learn a language. "For too long people from the UK have suffered from a reputation that we are lazy linguists" said supporter Vicky Gough of the British Council.

Defiant Spurs supporters ignored the FA’s demands to stop using the word Yid by persistently singing it throughout yesterday’s match. The team were playing away at Cardiff City and many fans started chanting the term as soon as they got off the train. Around 40 minutes before the 4pm kick-off “We’re Tottenham Hotspur, we’ll sing what we want”, resounded around the stadium, followed by “Yid Army” and later “Yids, Yids, Yids”. Most stood up for the whole game as they bellowed the songs. Barely five minutes passed between chants. Fan Roger Maltz, 64, said: “I am Jewish. I remember the 1967 FA Cup final when I was attacked by skinhead yobs for being a ‘Yid’. For the past 10 or 15 years it has been used as a defence mechanism. We are just reclaiming our identity.” Dave Beese, 55, and his son Adam, 26, also insisted: “The word is used in the right context. It’s entirely used in a positive manner. There isn’t a problem with this.”
