I'm only informing him about why his classmates aren't bothered with speaking English.

How come you learned English? Where did you learn it?

I took preparation class before I started my department at university, I also joined an English course for sometime but it was mostly by myself. I started with a grammar book to learn how to make the sentences. I watched too many English Movies with English Subtitles. It was mosty Movies with English Subtitles that improved my English. I started learning English at the age of 21. Since it is an international language, I wanted to learn it

America's Best Friend changes depending on what America can gain from the relationship.

I don't get how anyone can possibly think learning a second language is somehow a negative or a "why?" thing. Everyone should know a second language, IMO. It increases your mental capacity and even helps out your English. Also helps you out big time in terms of job prospects.

Bilingualism is such an obvious thing in Sweden.

I can't even think of how life would be like not to be fluent in two languages anymore.

How much do you use Spanish in your daily life btw Alex?

I use 3 languages on a daily basis

To be honest I don't think too much about it, but it certainly keeps Alzheimer away for a few more years.
