So, exactly how it works in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesian.
They speak native local language from their city, other two from other islands, English for international language, sometimes Chinese, Malay, Arabic, Korean, or Japanese. Not to forget the national language, Indonesian.
They don't think it's normal, it's all that's necessary. English is the lingua franca
The incentive to learn a language is in software, not human.
