• State language inspector working in Daugavpils: people around 40 years of age face the biggest problems with Latvian language proficiency

According to a state language inspector working in Daugavpils (city in the Eastern part of Latvia), people around 40 years of age or who were born in the beginning of 70-ies face the biggest problems with Latvian language proficiency. One of the reasons for that is that Latvian language learning at Russian schools during those years was very poor. At the same time, young people in the age of 23-25 years have no problems with state language. The most frequent state language violations are in the area of services.
