More people speak English than any other language (unless you're counting native speakers, then its Chinese) therefore it is likely to continue to grow and outcompete the majority of languages on the internet the majority of websites, videos etc are in English. In a university in Sweden people from all over the world come and they speak english (keep in mind Sweden has never been ruled by a English power) and don't think this is the only university or only country this is happening in. There is no point in learning other languages other than English as it grows, even if people still speak other languages we have better and better computer translators.
And writing wise many languages don't work like English since English has alphabet writing system which makes sense for English. Chinese is a logography since its a tonal language meaning each word needs one of 4 tones used in Chinese so a syllables can have the same constant and vowel and only have different in tone which is hard to write down so it gets rid of different letters for different sounds and just has a symbol for a word which is quite easy for the writing system but a lot of memorising is needed to remember every symbol for every word (logography). Japanese is a syllabary seeing if you writing down Japanese how it sounds like it would be it would go consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel and that is rearley broken so it a has symbol for each vowel since die to how the language is structured makes sense for Japanese but for english it would make no sense at a all to do this. For arabic and hebrew instead of a alphabet it has a abjad which means there aren't really any vowels but instead they are just filler between the real sounds, the consonants. There are also abujitas for example Hindi which is very similar to a alphabet where vowels are really added in like they are in English but where the consonant before it is changed is a certain way so show what vowel comes after it. Its hard to think as it as you but a constant after a vowel since sometimes the modification to the consonant actually if on top, below, in front or behind but better to think of it as blocks where there is a consonant in the middle and the vowel after it is placed somewhere around it. This is very similar to English (seeing they are related very distantly by proto, indian, european P.I.E) and Hindi could properly be wrote in a alphabet similar to english and vise versa, the only reason hindi is a abjida is because tradition. How did i go from saying you shouldn't learn languages other than english (and possibly coding) to describing the Indian writing system, also i would like to say this might not be 100% acuret since 1)spelling 2) i'm not completely sure i got the terms right or languages for example i said Hindi but it could be bengal or any other indian language but its the one with the straight line running all away across the top of the writing.

Sorry, but English is, and will likely always be the lingua franca of the world for at least 5 more centuries..... It's no easy task to change everything from English to other languages (Computers, internet, etc.). Although It's definitely useful and recommended to learn other languages.....

Pity I learned Japanese and French. Japanese is really a dud to learn and unless you absolutely master it, it has little use.
