No one needs to remind me of the prestigious position of English in our world today. It’s essential, as I argued over and again previously. However, it’s not the MOST crucial language there is. Our mother tongues are, for they make us who we are. No proficiency in the English language can make you English. Learn it (English) or any other language very well but don’t throw away your mother tongue. You can’t have what is not yours or be who you are not.
