With your way with words, my friend, I have no doubts that you will
soon be writing perfect limericks in Polish

American cultural dominance certainly hasnt hindered english and its dominance as the " world language" but i think you underestimate how english was spread through trade as well as colonialism , you sound like the sort who is forever apologising for our past colonial exploits.
Sorry.

There used to be a classic question - What's the second largest French-speaking city in the world? The classic answer was Montreal.
Not any longer. It's Paris.
So ... what's the largest French-speaking city in the world?
Answer ... Kinshasa.

many of who?
words fail me. If you're talking about immigrants into the UK you do know back in the 50's immigrants couldn't enter the UK if they had any sort of criminal record? All the 'crime' you claim must then be home grown.
Also please enlighten me about all these diseases 'they' have given you.

i live 2 hours from the spanish border,near toulouse
and the attitude to english has changed drastically
the generation of my in-laws speak very little or none
my wife's generation were taught spanish as a 2nd language,for obvious reasons
but french parents today,insist on there children being taught english as a 2nd language
the french have realised that unless you want to be really good at asking for bread & butter in spanish while on holiday in spain
there's alot more advantages to learning english in this ever decreasing world
