Apparently President-elect Obama is that everyone should learn a foreign language, but which one should it be?
The British learn French, the Australians study Japanese, and the Americans prefer Spanish. Yet this leaves Mandarin Chinese out of the equation.
Why not have a non-national language, taught universally in schools worldwide, in all nations?
