Just returned from Aruba. 7 years ago, because Tourism is the main industry, HS grads were required to speak 6 languages fluently, and were proud of it. Now it’s down to 4. French and German have been dropped. Even Aruba has snowflakes, it seems.

I’m guessing English, Spanish, Portugese and Dutch? Aruba was a nice vacation with wonderful people when I first visited in 2001. I returned in 2015 to find an overcrowded, somewhat hostile environment. Jaunted over to Curacao and found it to be much more welcoming.

At the present rate there will be no more French and German in 200 years..the national languages will be Farsi and Arabic.
