Alright listen. The only reason we can talk right here, right now, is because the British conquered half the globe and spread their language. There is a certain practical element to it. I completely agree that a universal language must never, ever hinder or replace our ethnic languages. If it is replaced in our learning institutions, governments, culture, etc. then it supercede its purpose. What OP was talking about wasn't any of the aforementioned, but that "we're losing our languages" which isn't true. This thread would be an entirely different matter if he talked about specific points and examples in which English was replacing our ethnic languages, but he hasn't. There is absolutely no direction or purpose of this thread. I saged it before and I'll sage it forevermore, because both you and OP are simultaneously all massive idiotic faggots.
There are hundreds of scientific studies on the cognitive benefits of learning more than one language. Even just a second language can be incredibly beneficial to how you learn, think, and act. Most countries take English very seriously and teach it throughout their education system, unlike America where we only learn a language for two semesters, just to forget it a few weeks later (typically).
We certainly are capable of learning any language, but I'm speaking systematically. China is forcing their people to learn our sacred code. That's a big difference from the minuscule minority of our people who know Chinese or Hebrew or whatever else.
