English as a lingua franca, and the others for fun

I took this photo in Luxembourg city, Luxembourg. I didn't have any maps to explore the city, and just followed street signs to get to the city centre. Here, street signs show directions to get to Ville haute, Centre, Gare and so on. I couldn't understand what Ville haute or Gare mean, but fortunately Centre was pretty understandable, so I followed the direction for Centre and I was right. I guess I needed basic French in a way. After the world cup 2014, I started to learn Spanish. I wonder how long it will take me to be able to understand what the football's brand new super player is talking and writing about, though.
