The country's top foreign-language college, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), the oldest of its kind in the country, has inked an agreement to make the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games a "language-barrier-free" Olympic Games.
The college hopes to offer training and support in English, French, Portugese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic.
Beijing's police have an English-language program that was introduced in 2001. So far, about half of Beijing's 50,000 policemen have received the Beijing Oral English Certificate.![]()
With 489 days to go, the other half will have to get on the stick or they will be stuck covering fencing and horse back riding.
