Who ever did the subtitles for this video never learned an ounce of french, or bothered to look up the correct spellings of both phrases. Its definitely not spelled "Merci beau court" or "Merci beau cout madam muisel". The correct spellings for these two phrases are "Merci Beaucoup" and "Merci beaucoup mademoiselle".

It's Merci beaucoup... not merci beau cout....

Greece is not the only place where you can't graduate from highschool unless you speak English fluently. Here in Sweden, and, as far as I know, in all other countries in Scandinavia English is one of the most important subjects in school. In Sweden you can't apply to upper secondary school unless you have fairly good grades in English.

This video is best advice for you Americans. Start learning foreign languages as soon as possible !

Speaking another language will improve significantly America's image throughout the world. Compared to Europeans, Americans are pretty bad, unfortunately.

It's good to know that especially in Germany, France and the Spanish-speaking world English is spoken poorly by the common man. These countries were major players in the age of imperialism (19th century) and it still shows in their policies. Also, children and others do not have the privilege of watching subtitled English entertainment - instead all foreign programs are dubbed into the native language.

I'm dubious about the claim that all high-school students have to be fluent in English in Greece.  Learn it is one thing - but 'fluent'. I think it's hard to make that a law.
