most of the land mass is German. So I say each region should speak the language that has that ancestry That's what the german leader is trying to avoid. And I would bet that the blue (german) states have more people than the 4 orange states

(Speaking of which, what language is "African" anyway?) Unlike most Asian Americans that can identify the country they came from (i.e. Korea, Japan, China, etc) I have rarely met an African American that has any idea which country/tribe they came from - in my book they are Black Americans or just Americans.

The rest of the world is already figuring out the necessity of learning English for the modern age. Why there is even a question in America, where there can be no doubt about English as the language of commerce and effective socialization is odd. Go ahead and learn as many languages as you are able and benefit from multilinguism, but English is not an option on that list, it is a requirement. Global communication is necessary at all levels in the organization, and English is enabling companies to operate more efficiently. And yet, with this opportunity comes challenges. Employees of global companies need increasingly sophisticated English communication skills to succeed. A recent study on the globalization of English points to a huge and growing English skills gap within global corporations: 91% of employees say English is critical or important for their current jobs. Only 7% say their current English skills are sufficient. In addition, 89% of employees state they are more likely to advance in their company if they can communicate effectively in English. By taking a strategic approach to solving this problem, global companies who have implemented the GlobalEnglish service have improved their overall performance and efficiency and realized significant business results.
