The surveys show many intriguing results. In 2001, 53 percent of respondents said that they could speak a language in addition to their mother tongue. In 2006, this had risen to 56 percent. The most multilingual EU citizens are the Luxemburgers, where 99 percent of people know at least one other foreign language, followed by Slovaks (97 percent) and Latvians (95 percent).

In 2006, 28 percent of respondents spoke two foreign languages, compared to 26 percent in 2001. The most popular second languages are English, French and German, followed by Spanish and Russian.

In general, the surveys showed that smaller Member States with several state languages exhibited greater levels of multilingualism. This was also true for countries with lesser-used native languages or “language exchange” with neighbouring countries. Only six Member States had a majority of mono-linguists in 2006: Ireland (66 percent of people not knowing any other language than their mother tongue), the United Kingdom (62 percent), Italy (59 percent), Hungary (58 percent), Portugal (58 percent) and Spain (56 percent).

Only a minority of Europeans consider language learning unimportant - just 8 percent in 2006, although this figure did represent a slight rise over the 2001 figure of 7 percent.
