    Het is vrij matig, dat de enige manier als Europeanen, met elkaar te praten, hamburger taal is. Juist nu.

      Sure, let everyone fire up the translator engine instead of immediately understanding each other. Takes more effort, thus makes it harder to understand each other.

      And we should really like more understanding, not less.

      It really doesn’t matter what the common language is, but it makes sense to have one, and we already have English now. We can also think to change that (there is Esperanto), but there’s really no super major reason to do it, it’s not like by using English we support the US or by using Dutch we now support the Netherlands. It’s just a way of communicating, as long as we’re able to do it easily, let’s just do that.

      Also, even though the UK exited the EU, it still lies in Europe. The language still originated in Europe. Ireland also uses English.

        Ça a l’air d’être copium ! Nous avons besoin une véritable langue continental, ou on tous doit parle anglais avec une accent irlandais.
