Anyhow, I think learning languages indeed is a way of getting to understand cultural differences better. I think that on a worldwide scale, English has taken a place in everyone's life and that this situation has come to such an extent that no return is possible. I speak 5 languages myself and in this way I have learned a lot about cultural differences. Therefor I would like to stimulate everyone, even those who use Englih as a native tongue, should learn more languages. If this is esperanto or any other language, I don't care. Just learn them.
