I get what you’re trying to say but saying this feels wrong. It just bothers me when Anglophones present this as some measure other nations should strive for.
I spent 12 most learning Norwegian. I never had to use it once. My grandfather spoke it, but was a bit stubborn so we never learned it. I was more stating basically everyone in Norway speaks the English, which is nice for many international travelers as it is a common denominator for communication. Norwegian is not very useful as a second or third language, but I did enjoy it.
