Interestingly enough this can be said about japanese people as well, the way language is taught over there is not very good at all, and most of the citizens don't see a reason to learn another language.

Same in Canada too. I know a lot of italian-canadians in my town and almost none of them could speak it. Same thing is happening in the south Asian community where most can understand their language to some degree but many can't speak it.

I’m from Brazil and the U.S, I was born in Brazil then right after that I moved out of there and moved in to NJ, learned English as my first language and i can also speak Portuguese fluently, I think it’s a matter of focusing on learning something specially if it’s related to languages

Love the simplistic but super informative style! Keep it up!

Same in the UK

Many times when I travel to States, many Americans ask me to speak them in English. I understand that situation. However, many times I've seen the Americans to speak in English and without respecting the local culture. That isn't fair.

I agree with you when it comes to the smaller localities around the globe; less so with the international, tourism-heavy cities where it's understood that English is an intermediary language for people from other nations to communicate with each other.

good points plus language classes are mostly only taught in high school(only 2 years at mine) when they should be taught every year

Very nice and informative.

I'm an English teacher in Korea and there's definitely a huge difference in ability here usually based on if you attend an excellent, fully-immersive English academy or international school. Students that go to academies or international schools typically surpass their peers that don't by a large margin. It really becomes a class issue since most academies and international schools are very expensive I also work part-time in a lab and while my mentors and superiors can read science articles in English, they can't speak it. So we just communicate in Korean (but my Korean is very bad)

Thanks to the prominence and importance of english, the importance of foreign language less important.

Spanish is spoken in a city in America XD

here in germany, (at least in my school and plenty of other gymnasiums), foreign language learning is heavily enforced here and on top of the native german and english (L2) that i speak, i’m capable of speaking 2 more foreign languages as well.

@@user-dw4qm2on3b L 2 is probably referring to the level of intensity of hysterium‘s English class. The L (Leistungs Kurs= high performance class)classes are chosen two years before you graduate from Gymnasium. And Gymnasium is the form of Highschool that prepares students to go to university. It has nothing to do with the English word for the place where you’re doing sports. Children can decide at age 10 to do that or chose another school that doesn’t focus on university but vocational training afterwards. Edit: in Gymnasium everybody has to study at least two foreign languages for 6 years straight. Some do more. In L2 they aim for the international C1 language skills.

@@winterlinde5395 Thanks a lot for explanation. Haven't though people online would spend so much time on telling how things work. We have soviet- style schools that have to be re-built from zero in my opinion. Soviet- like education is an bullshit that doesn't focus on personal view of kids. I am ukrainian but i studied my first nine years in Russian- speaking school. Where i had to learn Ukrainian, Russian, English and French. Then i moved to the other school and there was only Ukrainian, English and German. I could not think about better English level than b2 since no one cares about quality of education in here.

Are there any American cultural languages?

When I was 12 I spoke 4 launguage and now I'm 17 and didn't learn a new one since lmao I'm not American

We still have areas in the USA that speak Dine, French, German, etc

Also because english is very easy. The hardest part of english is the pronunciation, but it isn't crucial btw since you can 'understand' hindi or muslim guys speaking english with shitty accent. Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian are related, so it shouldn't be THAT hard to learn one of those if you are a native latin-related language speaker.

There is no way to objectively determine that a language is "easy" or "hard". It's all based on your native language (hence why speakers of other Germanic languages like Norwegian and Danish can often speak impeccae English). Babies learn all languages with no issues, it's not like they struggle with other languages but learn English faster or something.

Hmm... If only there was a language that was constructed for communication of people from different languages/cultures. Mi esperas, ke tia afero fariĝos pli frue ol malfrue.

One major reason why many people all over the world learn English is because a VERY large amount of internationally popular movies, TV shows, video games, music, books, and the internet itself is either made in English, or subbed/dubbed/translated into English. That means that non-English speakers have a very rich world of media to consume if they take the time to learn English. There is no other single language that has as much of an incentive to learn it media wise for people who know English as a first language.

As a monolingual English speaker, I'd say my time is better spent doubling down on the language I already know than learning a second language. This means doing a lot of reading, writing, studying grammar, vocab, and history; all in and about English. I like the idea of learning a second language and might try to someday (I have my eye on French, German, Russian, and Japanese), but proficiency and productivity in my own language comes first and foremost.

You ignored the biggest reason, when people learn a foreign language, it is usually English. This is because English is one of the easiest languages to learn and there are many resources to learn the language and because it is prominent in international media
