Capitalisation of country names (Liz)

Do the following phrases require capitalization? country french, country european

French is capitalised but it's not a country name, it's either the nationality, the language, the person or anything connected with France (the country name is France, and IS capitalised.)

do you think the Internet will change these rules? I shouldn't say this but I sometimes don't seem to bother about capitalizing words

Isn't English an official language in the Philippines?

Tagalog is supposed to be the Lingua Franca in the Philippines and it is for the most part because even though Filipinos want to speak English, most are illiterate (but you can never sell most of them because they can understand basic English; use big words then now you can sell them).

From first grade, English is taught, but it's all about the rules, punctuations. Without proper application (e.g. writing), they are almost useless because one tends to forget them. So, it's been really recently (3-4 years) that I've really focused my attention on learning English, but I've spoken English here and there before that--I was not a total English idiot, thankfully).

I remember when I first arrived in the US, I had to take proficiency writing and I got 1.5, while most of the class did not get below 2.5. However, I just took my writing proficiency beginning of last year and I got a 4--I was so proud of myself.
