The most important second language
I think most people would agree that the most important language to know presently is English. What do you think is the second most important language to know?
Can you make an argument that English actually isn't the most important language to know?
Is the importance of a second language the location of the speaker?
Is the importance of a second language the industry that the speaker works in?
It also may be interesting to know which languages everyone speaks. (To save time, I will assume the Americans only speak English. LOL)
Joke
----
What do you call a person who speaks three languages? Tri-lingual
What do you call a person who speaks two languages? Bi-lingual
What do you call a person who only speaks one language? American
