English people in general don't speak another language. We are taught one language in school and then forget it all by 21.

I got lucky, Mother is Greek, Dad is Italian
Now im relatively fluent in English and Greek, my Italian is so-so, but man, i went to Greece when i was like 15 for 2 months, and the amount my Greek improved was insane, i went there speaking very little, came back and could converse fully (to bad its some village dialect, so normal greeks cant understand a quarter of what i'm saying), i could only imagine how fluent i would be if i lived there for >1 year

How do you say Mr Chocolate in Greek?

One English guy from my work speaks Japanese. He learned it when he had a jap GF around 20 years ago. He's the only one english person that I've met who can speak another language.

I always feel like people from the UK/USA just speak English, while the rest of the world understand at least 3 languages.

Yeah, both those countries are pretty isolationist. Until recently you could live your entire life in the US without coming into contact with someone who speaks another language.

Why would they learn another language anyway, their language is international.

If you learn another language you learn another way of thinking and different cultures

Nah.

Yeah but not worth the effort tbh.

 

[Cerval]

Nah.

They don't need to do that but that's true. That's the reason some have done that

It's that forced environment that tends to be the exception. My workmate knew German for a time as his girlfriend was and they didn't speak a word of each other's language. When I was in sixth form my Spanish (Galician) was better than now as my girlfriend was from A Coruña (plus Italian similarities).

Ultimately you only properly learn when being forced to speak during immersion, whether that is in the country itself, with native speakers, or by creating that environment around you.

It’s nice to be able to communicate when you travel.

Being born and raised in Hawaii there are Illocano, Tagalog and Marshallese speakers as well as Tongan and Spanish speakers. In recent years there have been far more Olelo Hawai'i speakers as well. I would say that it depends more on the part of the US that you are from as to whether you have been exposed to other languages or not.

Cash money is the only language that everyone communicates with and understands

Build the wall!

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Yeah, I would guess it's mostly only English in the midwest and the north (outside of the cities).
