There were many lingua francas of which French was supposedly the first global lingua franca. That changed and it became English (from what I understand). We will probably see another language become the lingua franca, so my question is: should it be English? Are there better candidates out there? Why / why not?

    I know the first few sentences from the first lection of my first Latin book

    Uni est Quintus? Quintus in hortus est. Quinte, Quinte, Caecilia clamat"

    That basically all I remember.

      🤔 when I see this: do you mean “Ubi est”?

      My first sentence was: “Marcus silvam currit.” 😂
