I think the point of having Noticias Hacker is that maybe it's not the highest possible aspiration to learn somebody else's language so they can colonize you.

[Note: I can't think of a less argumentative way to express that without being a lot less succinct. It's not meant as a flame, really.]

Addendum on rereading, because I think it matters: For a Pole to learn English to open up career opportunities has a whole lot less historical baggage connected with it than for a Latin American to do so, and this is over and above the fact that there are ten times as many speakers of Spanish as speakers of Polish.
