Possibility and Hope for English

English will never dominate the world. It'll never replace other languages because it forces other countries to adopt English cultures. People want their own culture and their own language. They only need English in business, sometimes.

I partly agree with this statement. I agree that English will never dominate the world and it'll never replace other languages. I think language plays a large part in your identity. I have experienced it myself through studying England since April. I've been here for approximately eight months and fortunately I haven't had any close Japanese friends here, so I don't have opportunities to talk in Japanese in my everyday life. The only chance to talk in Japanese is talking on Skype with my mother and boyfriend at the weekends. However it's sometimes really difficult to find time to talk because there is a huge time difference between Japan and England. When we couldn't talk for three weeks I was completely sick for the Japanese language and I couldn't concentrate on my studies because of a lack of enthusiasm about English. At the time I felt like I was sick and not in my right mind. The lack of opportunity of talking in Japanese made me sick and drove me to listen only to Japanese songs and watch Japanese TV on Youtube. I wasn't aware of doing that but I instinctively needed Japanese language. It made me feel like the loss of some part of my identity and realised that languages play a large part of identity based on my experience. I could learn about other countries and their languages intensively but never live without my language. Therefore I don't think English would replace other languages. People can't give up their own culture and language because their culture and language are implicit and they are deeply rooted in their identity. Identity is not replaceable. Even though people live in other countries for a long time you would never forget your language or culture and you would not be assimilated by their cultures. You could adopt their culture and language and feel their culture plays a part of your identity but it won't be replaced.
Nowadays more and more people can speak English and it is considered a natural thing. But I believe the aim of learning English is not only as a business tool but also an international tool for communication in order to broaden understanding and accept other cultures . If English is the only tool to communicate with others, why don't you start learning English? You can see another world which you have not seen before through communication with people from all over the world. I believe that to broaden your ideas leads to individual development and enrichment of yourselves. I also hope it will lead to world peace.
