It seems like everybody is learning to speak English in Europe. China and India each have more speakers of English than the U.S. does, and the demand to learn the language continues to grow. Will there ever be a time when the entire planet speaks a single language (English), either as a first, second, third...tounge?

yes i think there will be. the british economy continues to grow along with thousands of jobs and the U.S of course. in the east jobs are low and education is poor therefore learning english is very useful

the english language is already the world language!!!..."Will there ever be a time when the entire planet speaks a single language (English), either as a first, second, third...tounge?" people will keep on speaking english but they will NEVER forget their mother language! and no english won't be the only spoken language!!!....french..spanish and other languages are well known and everyone can communicate by speaking those languages!.....so it's not just english.

No, it means that other people from other countries is more willing to realize that they are not the only people in the world and should learn to speak other languages. Many that I know speak 2 or 3 languages. Most native born Americans only speak 1 language.

Yes, in some places it will become the second language.

The world should not have one language as the lingua franca. That would show favoritism and I'm sure countries like China would never agree to such a thing.

Yes, by 2010, the whole world would be learning English as part of their school curriculum.
No doubt about that.

I think its only because the USA and maybe Australia speak it.
Most of the powerful countries speak English so I guess everyone wants to do the same.

True but in the US it is becoming a lost language.
