[sunny_be_active]

I am in favor of the idea that students should learn more than two foreign languages at school.
What should I use, more than two OR two or more ?

want to express 2 or more than 2 (( incluing 2

thanks

How many language do you think they should learn?

More than two = They will learn at least three
Two or more = They will learn a minimum of two

I think 'at least two' means so.

Use more than two.

Use more than two.

You missed a line - "want to express 2 or more than 2 (( incluing 2"
"Use more than two" doesn't work for that. Responses #2 and #3 are correct for that.

I think 'Which' should be used instead of 'What' because options are available.

That last bit didn't make sense to me, so I answered the part I quoted, the first.

Am I the only who thinks it's simpler to say "They should learn at least two"?

(Assuming the OP means 2, 3, 4... )

The OP's sentence in red contradicts the one in blue, as clearly stated in response #2.

Is this a quote, sunny, or is it your own opinion? If it is a quote, you'd better use quotation marks. Otherwise, your post becomes quite ambiguous.;-)

I agree it's confusing. Using italics is also good.
