all i'm saying is that english has become the universal language. most places (that don't speak english as a first language) learn english from the age of 5!!!! whilst here in england we don't learn other languages untill we're 12...
my family are german and irish but i can't speak german very well...this is what i mean!!! english is an arrogant language!!! it is ruining other cultures!!! you don't need to speak others fluent, but enought to say the basics like
"Ich möchte lieber beir!!"
