Languages are too hard

Topic questions is: Should there be a language, which all people speak, so there won't be anything like:

> Hallo, wie kommt man zum Hauptbahnhof? (en.: Hello, how to get to the main train station?)

> Sorry, what?

A good question - Nobody is able to speak unlimited languages, or this:

> Мы уничтожем тот район, и настанит новая ера! Ера где славятьса русский народ! (en.: We will destroy that city place, and there will be a new era! The time when russian will be respected.)

> Just two Russians are speaking, let's ignore them and spy someone else!

If you know 5 languages you are a pro

Source: In terms of living people, a candidate for the record holder is Ziad Fazah, who reportedly claims to speak around 60 languages

problem: How to let people speak one language, for example why not English?

Re: Languages are too hard

It would be great to have one language for everyone, but that would be too hard to implement right now. Maybe in the future we can do it under a single world government, but that seems a long long ways off. We could also instead use a Babel fish translator hearing aids, and eliminate the problem another way.

Since everyone is discussing languages, I know fluent English and decent Spanish myself.
