There were many lingua francas of which French was supposedly the first global lingua franca. That changed and it became English (from what I understand). We will probably see another language become the lingua franca, so my question is: should it be English? Are there better candidates out there? Why / why not?

      Not even my hate for the US or Britain is enough for me to learn Latin. I had this shit for 5 years and I didnt learn anything. Fuck this bullshit.

        Yea, I think English might become the glue between languages that will strengthen, not weaken the EU, same with the Indian Union (they are both Eurasian peninsulas too :D)

        😂😂😂 I had to learn this crap for 5 years, too. And all I can remember is the one sentence which I learned:

        “Gallia est divisa in partes tres.”

        But I don’t know for what this is good for. 🤭

          I know the first few sentences from the first lection of my first Latin book

          Ubi est Quintus? Quintus in hortus est. Quinte, Quinte, Caecilia clamat"

          That basically all I remember.
