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 So - as someone who only speaks English (other than a few Portuguese swear words), a question for you (or others who are from non-English-first language countries)

Do you see English eventually displacing your countries native language?

@Tedgarrison3 @stux

I'm Norwegian - and no.

Native languages are not only for communication. They also carry the culture of where they "live". I could tell you that a nisse hid my laptop, but you wouldn't understand fully. You do not have the cultural context to know what a nisse is. Every language carries the culture of the speakers. This is why supporting learning of endangered languages is important. If the languages disappear, much of the culture goes too.
