It is a fact that:
"There are 200 million speakers of German worldwide. German is the most frequently studied language in the world after English and Japanese. Worldwide there are currently 20 million students of German. Of these, 13 million are in Europe, Eastern Europe and the former USSR, where it is the most commonly used second language. In the United States there are 600,000 students learning German. In Japan, 68% of students study German."
By some persons' logic, there should be twice as many people learning Spanish in the world as German. So why are English, Japanese, and German the most studied languages in the world? I look forward to your answers. Please only respond if you believe in basing your opinions on facts, not hysteria and blind emotion.
Merci beaucoup,
