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

All languages seem to have the same amount of relative difficulty to a toddler, wherein language learning is at its highest potential.
Their phonemic awareness abilities are relatively the same regardless of the amount, in any given language.

As it's been observed, languages evolve, grow old and die.
There may be a single language left in the distant future, which would encompass the most successful traits of the previous languages.

I think the multicultural diversity shouldn't be impeded for the sake of globalisation beyond current language such as facial & body expressions.
It seems like English is the current leading global language, although Chinese and it's dialects or variants are used in higher figures relative to English.
