Seems like no one has a choice these days to not learn English.
Even German car icon VW last year announced that it would make English the corporate language for its 120 sites worldwide. No other German company employs more people abroad — 340,000 of the 626,000 total last year.
This was a controversial decision. The German Language Foundation, which has set itself the task of protecting the language, was so furious at VW that it sold its company shares in protest. “The words Volkswagen and German unfortunately no longer go together,” fumed the foundation’s chairman Walter Krämer. “I am appalled at how recklessly our elites are giving up their own language and culture.”
Needull in a haystack 
If native English speaking people would not be so lazy in speaking foreign languages a lot of matters would be much easier. I personally like to speak French or Italian much more as a foreign language.
