The amount of things wrong is impressive

You're confusing Europe and the EU

You're forgetting about Ireland and Malta

You're thinking that because the UK left the EU it will change the main language countries use to speak to each others

Yes, and that's precisely the irony. Europeans still need to subject themselves to Anglo "cultural imperialism" or absolutely nothing works, starting with communication across national borders.

The english language has ceased to be something unique to the anglocultural world a while ago. You're making this out to be much more than it is

Do you have a single clue about Europe? That's not true at all.

Besides that, besides my native language and English, I had German and French in school (which are required topics in our country). So I can speak the native language of all nearby countries.

Auf Wiedersehen!

In both countries English is only one of the official languages.

And how does that change anything to what is being said ? English is only one of the official languages of the UN or NATO or the WHO or ...

Hardly anyone uses Irish in daily life or for official purposes, notwithstanding its official status. 99% of the Irish you hear outside a classroom is performative.
