[quote=Anonymous]Because we already speak the universal language and with globalization and improvements in technology it gets more and more pointless to dedicate a lot of time to other languages that could be reinvested in other things to study (like STEM or English) literature. Also unlike England we have a continent sized country where business is run basically entirely in that language. Why dilute or disrupt the efficiency that comes from that? I minored in a foreign language, it was fun but pointless and every high level professional from that country speaks English anyways. It’s a different calculus if you are from a small non-English speaking country like the Netherlands and want to retain Dutch for heritage purposes and want to trade a lot with your big neighbor Germany and want to know the universal language. Then you learn three languages. [/quote]
