The idea of bubble living is so clear with you. Besides English being the Universial language, we Asians have a ‘thing’ for English because we are former British colony, where do you think countries like South Africa / USA/New Zealand etc got the English from? Why do some people only have to degrade Asians in that regard? You think Spanish and French are some kind of dead and burried languages in former colonies of France and Spain (in fact you’d be surprised to know about their infleunce in current day). If it wasn’t English, we would probably be having Russian or French as a so called second official langauge considering they also had their eyes in the subcontinent for the colonial interests.
