I don't think so at all.
:/

Yeah, maybe it's beneficial for them to learn it. (Okay, "scratch" out maybe if people will argue...)

But that's THEIR language. It already has enough english being added into it, apparently, according to some.

Just let them have one language only...

I do believe that it would be beneficial for English to be available there, but to make it an official second language is unecessary...
