For those arguing about languages, what’s the point? You can’t help what your mother tongue is, it’s simply something you’re born into. Additionally, whether a language is “good” or not is all personal opinion anyway.

If you want to speak the “better” language, then learn as many as you can. Each culture is beautiful in its own way, and obviously every culture has its faults. Learning languages enables you to understand these cultures, and will also allow you to understand and increase your enjoyment of these translations

And for those who speak English as their native tongue, I’m sorry you started out with the disadvantage of speaking the dominant language, but don’t let that keep you from learning about others!

And with that, I leave you one of my favourites

A sign on some steep stairs in the Dragon Tower in Harbin, China tells you to “Slip and fall down carefully” (小心滑倒)

I am Vietnamese living in America and therefore, I am learning English day in and day out. It’s my responsibility to do whatever it takes to melt in; including ” learn English”. Melting in is a key word here my friend.
