English as Universal Language

Hi Martin
I agree with you in some ways, whereas it gradually become global language, but I truly prefer French language! ;)
Have a GREAT weekend!
Hi Martin, I exactly agree with you. English is a universal language in the world now and what is more, we need try our best to learn it well!!! :)
There will be a day, and not far away from us, maybe when I'm middle-aged, Chinese will be in the same position as English, or even dominate this world...
However, learning other languages are also very good. It's a best way to learn about other cultures, isn't it?
It's interesting that you think English will keep its position as a universal language . . . we never know what may happen in the future . . .
