Here in Spain, apart from learning to speak Spanish you also have to learn the language of the community where you live in order to get certain jobs.
The truth is that it is very tedious to have to learn a language for each country. I'm not very good at languages, I've already taken about three English courses and I can barely read a little bit of it! :(
Fortunately, as you say, we are already in the era of AI's, that will revolutionize the way we communicate.
