I find languages other than English to be very beautiful.

I took German for three years and still try to speak/write/read it as much as possible to keep up with it.

I think Asian languages are musical. I love the sound of Russian, etc. I think French is berry nize. And, though it looks absolutely NOTHING like what it sounds, I'm enamored of Celtic/Gaelic languages. I've listened to Nordic language being spoken and want to learn that, too.

I think it would, on one hand, be more convenient if every person in the world spoke one language, but feel, on the other, it would be a terrible tragedy to lose individuality by completely eradicating other languages.

I think it also reflects a horrible "laziness" that we should feel the whole world needs to learn English instead of English speaking nations learning other languages.
