in defense of Americans not learning other languages [maybe not defense, but more as an insight]

I met a Belgium lady in Austria who spoke perfect English and I commented on it - also on how so many people I had met in Europe spoke English

she told me not to be too impressed for most European countries watch American TV, listen to American music, follow American culture closely - most also study English in school as it is becoming the 'universal' language of choice - hence much of it is assimilated - a huge help

she also said English has too damn many words
