I want to know about the lives of more than just 18% of the world population and while with German and Japanese I can speak with roughly 22% of the world, we need to share that task. US Americans need language education to communicate with our fellow human beings.

Around the world, English might be the most commonly spoken language at 1.5 billion, but that is ironically only 18% of the global population. English speakers are a language minority worldwide. www.statista.com/statistics/2...

That also means that 18% spoke another language at home. The US is not monolingual.
