Meanwhile, many africans speak 2 languages in their family, a third one for people that don't speak one of theses two and have studied french and english.
So, exactly how it works in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesian.
They speak native local language from their city, other two from other islands, English for international language, sometimes Chinese, Malay, Arabic, Korean, or Japanese. Not to forget the national language, Indonesian.
They don't think it's normal, it's all that's necessary. English is the lingua franca
The incentive to learn a language is in software, not human.
Learning 3+ languages sounds like a lot of work. Colonizing the entire world so that you never have to learn a second language seems like the smarter move if you ask me 🧐
