the English language because English is now the Universal language. The Universal language used to be French, but in the past century it has switched.

Telling another country it HAS to learn English is arrogance in its worst form. Making it a requirement to learn Arabic to obtain a job isn't right either, if the company wants to open its field for the best employee, as perhaps the best one for the job isn't an Arabic person, but someone from a different country. That all depends on who applies and what their qualifications are. It also all depends on the needs and wants of the personal company.

I do think that it is in everyone's best interest to attempt to learn the native tongue of the country you are living and working in. I've been trying but am absolutely horrible with languages, so in the end, usually make the local folks laugh with my attempts..but at least an attempt is made, which is usually very appreciated.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
