Will English ever become the First Language of most/all Europeans? (Greek, nationality)

A clue: you can try livemocha for languages,or couchsurfing to find other students or Spanish erasmus in your town.

Thank you for the 'tips' Catbelle, I just wish I could afford to go to Spain a little more often! I do have a Spanish Uncle perhaps I could practice with him - though he has lived in the UK for 40 years - such a long time I often forget he is Spanish!! lol

Yea but nobody in the UK and Ireland says they are in Europe. Just means the continent.

We already half do.

Words like scedhule and vietamin are becoming universal.

Really? That's odd. The last time I checked there was water between here and France.

I am in the British Isles.

I still get funny looks when I say schedule and vitamin the American way. Even had a friend correct me when I said tomayto.

Well only old people pronounce schedhule the British way where I live.

I've heard it both ways here, but more often is the British way. Never heard anyone say vitamin the American way.

It's becoming a thing to say in the younger generation. Although I pronounce it the British way and will continue to do so. The American way dosnt sound right.
