Why then? Political reasons in the first place, and a big investment of money and time (some people argue why to invest so much time in language instead of reinforcing on other subjects like maths). But it's nice to hear people like you questioning such intelligent propositions.

"Monolingual" is the word you're looking for ;) I completely agree with the benefits of knowing more than one language (in fact, there are good effects not only in the sense of "you can communicate with other cultures" but also intesting advantages in cognition -which is the technical word for all the thinking in our brains-).

You raise a valid point. I would love the opportunity to discuss these matters with you! In this case, we are actually in agreement, and I am sure that will can find much more common ground.
