Philippines is the 4th largest English speaking country in the world, the UK the 6th
if my kids were going to live in the phils then of course it would be a good idea for them to learn Tagalog, seeing their not, not for many years anyway i don't see a need for them to.
my parents are Lithuanian and I've never needed or wanted to learn Lithuanian
but of course it would be an advantage for them to..
