There is genuinely no point to speak any language other than English.

There is zero useful applications for speaking Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, Swedish, German etc etc etc.

I'm baffled by the fact some people don't want to speak the international language of commerce, science, diplomacy, and the most complex and emotionally rich language in the world with centuries of world defining history and literature behind it. English is literally the most expressive language in the world, it has so much subtlety and art to it that most ESL are filtered completely by sarcasm and metaphor. It literally doesn't compute with their brains.

Lol, how many languages do you speak bud?

anyone should know English because it's the global lingua franca, but that doesn't mean it's the most expressive language in the world. and you couldn't even tell because you don't even have one other language you know well enough to compare.

Living in the countries where they speak those languages natively is impossible to unpleasant if you don't speak their languages. There is certainly utility to socially integrating in the country you live in

Talking to all the people who don't speak English? Reading all the untranslated works?
