No. Why should I learn? If movies have taught us anything, it is that everyone including space aliens speak English.

I swear if they taught Japanese to high school kids instead of French you would have far more retention and dedication from students.

i think they really speak it in the high ranks of the roman catholic church, they definitely write their intern papers still in it

Fuck that.
