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

I love that there's different languages. I'm bad at learning them, but I do love listening to them. Listening to Arabic, French, Italian and Spanish music is wonderful, it'd be a shame if they didn't exist. Also the diversities in vocabulary are amazing. I heard Arabic is a very poetic language, and I'm sure there's a lot more very interesting lagnuages I don't know about yet.
I do agree that everyone should learn English as 2nd language though.
