English is the 3rd most spoken language in the world.
The US didn't have an official language until recently - the 2000s.
There will be more Spanish speakers in the US than English by 2050.
It's easier to learn a language the younger you are. Age of acquisition was recently lowered to 10 after more studies were conducted. Learning a language after that age, especially as an adult, you will never develop true fluency.

As far as I know the US still does not have an official language.
