In short: By the time a person is 18, they must effectively be able to communicate and understand conversationally in 2 languages and casually use them in daily life..., if not become completely fluent...

Other than that, any language goes (whether it is a locally-known one, or a popular one worldwide),

The only thing I hope to gain from this, is to rid the world of /Monolingual Betas/

Seriously though, has this been a policy before? Because I haven't heard of such one...

I think this can especially be used for citizenship...

Edit: I don't necessarily have any other presupposed requirements besides bilingualism, though we may have certain notions of such in this main goal

Edit II: In furthering this venture, I have realized that my liberalism may slightly poisoned my lens....

And for clarification...

Minimum dual language system:

Main national language + other language (likely another related language, but foreign ones are fine)

        An example on how some people didn't necessarily were forced arbitrarily, is when many people in Europe go on Erasmus (a government sponsored exchange program) and spend a year in another European country where they spend 90% of their time communicating in the local language

        As I said, besides the billingualism, the choices and rules are loose and many.

        That being said, I can understand your concern with the term "mandatory" giving a restrictive connotation...

      Even taking your logic, I'm pretty sure in this world, you are more likely to have 2 parents that each speak a different language than 2 parents who can't...

      Plus, you don't need interested parents to realize that you'll eventually have to deal with a more multipolar world, most of whoms' people won't speak the same language fluently as you, so it's good, not only for practical but social needs, to probably do this...

      Finally, a little bit of societal pressure and a loose law (read again my post) didn't stop the Anglophonie from having children, not only including their own but other migrants, from learning English to integrate...

      For me, it should be easier than a minimum wage increase, if it's to be implemented overtime....

          Come on, what about the Nordic countries and the Nederlands, as well? Besides their own respective languages, due to similar Germanic roots of their language and their need to interact with the Western world, I bet many of them speak English...
