How come in countries where English isn't the primary language, everyone in those countries also knows English?

How come in countries where English isn't the primary language, everyone in those countries also knows English?

We have it in schools

It's the only important language other countries only speak their native one to feel special but it's literally useless to know any language but English.

It's an easy language to learn

And they probably got ANGLO'D at some point in time

We have to learn maori at school :(

Before it was German that was the "global" language, now it's English.
I prefer English since it's easy as shit and any retard can learn it.

I guess 20 years from now it's Chinese that takes it place.

I'm really hoping some hugely cucked countries make it their official language so they're more "international", my best guess is Sweden. It's a huge transformation for Sweden to make and Anglos will be resented for their leading role.

because America fuck yeah

of course they did

French was the old lingua franca

When did UK invaded Poland?

>Before it was German that was the "global" language

The world isn't Norway.

English has been the lingua franca of the world since French was in the 19th century.

What flag is this?

Listen

When the hell was german ever the "global language"?

Not recently enough.

>French was the old lingua franca


well duh, that literally means "french language".
australians. when do we ban them.

...

invaded ?

u meant "tried to invade" ?

Economic hegemony of the US.

It's a basic and rude language, I'll rather to speak French or Italian than your mix of piss and burps (that's how it sounds for a foreigner) deal with it.

Kek

It's an annoying inconsistent picture. UK never attacked Poland. It's a detail but nevertheless shit like that bothers me.

>What flag is this?
This will be the flag of the fourth Reich. Anglos are the strongest race.

>implying everyone in commiefornia speaks English


If you can't speak american then the cops should just deport your ass immediately.

Language of money.

Also Mandarin wont become a global language in a hundred years never mind 20

>US still has at least 50 years left as top dog and many more as a major competitor
>Mandarin is focused entirely in one area
>English is already an official language in pretty much everywhere the British empire reigned
>English has a huge amount of momentum, it takes time for people to learn a new language
>Mandarin is very alien to the majority of the world, unique lettering, some words require close to perfect pitch to be said properly, grammar is completely different, huge alphabet of pictograms

It's because of the entertainment industry by the Jewmericans.

Because for a time the most powerful nations in the world were english speaking countries. It will be chinese or hindi in the future.

Because it replaced French as the international language. Wanna to be a commercial pilot? Gotta learn English.

The Chinese in africa use english to communicate with the natives

English is not the international language because of the US. It started before we could walk and stop pissing ourselves.

I doubt that honestly, despite your 8s, English truly is a very simple language and used in the entertainment industry massively.

God save the King!

because the Dutch sold Manhatten in the 17th century and therefore US because a English speaking nation.

Quite right, I forgot Napoleon went on to have a long and happy reign.

Because it is incredibly easy to learn and it is pretty much the primary language in entertainment (video games, TV shows etc)

It´s the easiest language to learn, because it contains large amounts of french, german and scandinavian words. Along with a few others.

Britain was the greatest power before the US, English remaining lingua franca is partially due to them taking the rei(g)ns though

Actually it turns out old English was it's own branch of Germanic that arrived there prior to the Roman invasion rather than a variation of West Germanic as was previously assumed. Most common speech is still majority old english but there's a lot of French, Latin and a little Greek as you start talking about more complex subjects, German and Scandi didn't influence English (Old Norse has had an affect on region-specific words and accents but not the type of English taught in schools) they just come from the same family
