I have always been under the impression people from other countries were learning English in hopes of getting employed by American companies that had set up their country in order to earn more money..
But now that I think about it, I have run into many foreigners who have a pretty good foundation of basic English. They tell me that they are learning it form schools in their home country. Of course, all the ones I have run into are rather young.
Kinda Ironic how God separated humankind by language and location and now humankind may reverse what God did. I know not everybody believes the bible, but interesting nonetheless.
Genesis 11:7
“Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech”
Genesis 11:8-9
“So the lord scattered them abroad from hence upon the face of all the earth and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from hence did the lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth”
