Yes, agree. English, is a world international language and that's great. But it's having too much of a dangerous effect on other languages. Malaysians, Filipinos, Mexicans all sometimes do "code-switching" between their language and English. This means switching between in the middle of sentences. Especially Filipinos, they are known for code-switching the most. Just watch the Filipino politicians do their speeches, half of the time they are speaking English, the other; Filipino. A lot of the people in my school simply talk in English no matter the ethnicity. Native born or American born. French people don't like the English language, and the French linguists know that English words are creeping into French. So, the French language is strictly monitored from a university in France.

Yes, most definitely as it is now the 'Lingua Franca' and is primarily used in universal business. the youth are influenced because English is the language of a lot of universally popular music and film. Most reference books are most easily available in English. New words are often coined first in English and then assimilated into other languages. Basically I think it is the struggle of the world to be part of the so-called 'First World' that makes English such a popular language to learn.
