it depends on what kind of work you do.. if you have a job which involves interacting with english speakers, then its is definately required to know, otherwise knowing a regional language is enough.

I think English is a great language and I'm glad it's used all over the world, so you can communicate with anybody. What if the international language was, say Chinese instead of English... OMG, I can't even imagine it. LOL!

Well, it depends, I'd say. To speak English in general is a wonderful thing because you can communicate with a whole lot poeple in the world...and that doesn't have to be "good" English...*smiles* To speak GOOD English is certainly important if you intend to make a carreer in science or business; then you should study the language intensly and use it properly. For all othe purposes, it's enough to be able to communicate clearly.
