I think that’s a shame in a way - I think you get a much better look into a country’s psyche by speaking its language. Admittedly it’s easy enough for me to say that because I already speak a number of languages fairly fluently, and read and write them, which is useful for keeping them up, and I’m sure it makes it easier to learn others. I don’t think the fact that other people speak your language should obviate the desire to learn theirs.
