It's kinda cool to see how fast English has become more of a second language over about one generation or so  

For the generation of my parents it's still sort of an 'exotic language' while from my gen(im 30 btw) till now it seems more of a second language many people can understand and express themselves with

Ofc this is just how I perceive it but maybe the coming of the internet did have something to do with it 

@stux It always blows me away how well so many young people from European countries that aren’t English can speak the language. Kudos to your education systems. I learned French all through school in Canada while being surrounded by many native French speakers and my French is still pretty terrible.
