i can speak three (English of course, Spanish and Navajo) most people around here speak at least two languages (I'm in the Southwestern USA (Arizona to be more specific) ,a good deal of people in this region speak two or more languages because of our proximity to Mexico and the indigenous people that live here as well, I'm curious about people in Europe , seems to me that there are SOOO many languages there i would assume most everyone speaks multiple languages? also how prominent is the English language in Europe, do most people speak English as well as there own language? and lastly if i were to travel in Europe is there any language that is "universal" so to say, for instance if you live in North America of course English is universal but if you go to south America even though there are many languages you can get away with speaking Spanish and do just fine almost everyone knows it, is there an equivalent to that in Europe? sorry for the over complicated question.
