Skimmed so sorry if this has been mentioned, in England last two years of HS you specialize in a topic. It's sort of like CC in that it prepares you to go to university and graduate in three years instead of 4-6 here. Also they don't take a lot of extra fluff classes in college either.

The person who told you this is pulling a number on you. The classes are in English.
Oh for Pete's sake!
Swedish in Oxbridge PP, that was the funniest thing I read all day. Thank you.

Really not true. Why would they keep this a secret? Cambridge does have some satellite schools in other parts of Europe that probably use the language of the home country. There are some immersion courses that cover a few different languages but the primary programs are taught in English. I have family in Cambridge so I know this. I can't speak for Oxford, I've never been there, but I find it hard to believe that an English school that old is not teaching in English.
They also make you check your sense of humor/humour at the border.
