    Yikes. The number of U.S. college students learning Chinese has fallen by 11% in recent years, w/Arabic also down 10% and Russian 24%. https://twitter.com/michikokakutani/status/982159050413563904 …

        When I was first stationed in Japan I was excited to learn some Japanese, yet all the children on the train and bus wanted to speak English to me and all the shopkeepers spoke it as well. Never had to bother.

        My wife & I honeymooned in Italy. It was very odd, being somewhere where NOBODY spoke English, but then we flew out of Miami and it was all better.

        Old joke: The great thing about Miami is that it's so close to the United States. (told to me multiple times, usually by South Americans).

        When grocery shopping I may hear Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese at a minimum. History supports a Lingua Franca.I nominate English.

        Also, I took 5 semesters of Chinese. I know it well enough to travel around China by myself. I can tell you, the amount of dedication you would need to become functionally useful is extreme. A few colleges classes will not do it.

        Gee, it's almost like English is the lingua franca of the world... ...Wouldn't be interesting to see how many non-Chinese/asian people of the world are learning Chinese - even as a second language? My guess: not anywhere near as many that are learning ENGLISH.pic.twitter.com/zbmEK3YHxD

        So you'll know what those people *really* think, when they believe you can't understand them.
