I was born and raised in an Anglo Saxon community, so I understand totally what you are saying, welaf.

But people who speak English-only are cut off from 75% of world culture. So I wanted to tap into French, German and Hebrew culture by learning those languages. My Hebrew is fine, my French is like a school child's and German awaits Some Time in the Future when seriously studying a language will be possible.

We are experiencing a period of unprecedented advancement in communications technology. From facsimile machines to cell phones, from voice mail to the internet, our communications tools especially have become more advanced and sophisticated. Today, we are able to organize, transmit, and utilize information at speeds unimaginable only a few years ago, and we should anticipate future developments that are equally unimaginable today. Nevertheless, the "information super highway", to borrow this phrase from a well-known author, notwithstanding, communications technology has not supplanted communications know-how. We still require information and ideas to be expressed in clear, comprehensible prose, and the person who can compose such prose is still a vital part of any business organization. Therefore, solid control of the English language continues to be a highly marketable skill in today's workplace.

Well, I want to learn Spanish. There is so much money to be made from the Spanish speaking community, it's really a burden if you can't speak it.

I didn't have to learn it. It was forced on us. My country was a colony of the U.S. back in the past. Lucky me, though

In Korea, people think of you as a smart person if you can speak english well. And you can make much money. Lots of Westerners come here to teach English. And there are many Koreans who study abroad to learn English.
