I'm quite proficient in English. Of course, it is my primary and single language. In 6th grade, I tested at a college reading and writing level. I wouldn't call English a necessity unless you live in an English speaking country.
French is a really important business language, if I'm not mistaken. But, since English is the dominant language, it's probably very helpful for non-English speakers to learn English--just not a necessity. At least, until China takes over as the world leader.
I was also watching some YouTube videos from....yuuta something. In Japan, some of the Japanese worry that learning English will damage Japanese culture. Might be the case, so everyone learning English might damage their culture. Of course, that might make the world a better place, lessening tensions and increasing understanding between different groups of people. But, anyway.
Not just talking about Asian countries because you're Asian. 😶😶😶

I speak Engrish good.
It's completely a necessity. English is my second language, but I can confidently say I'm quite proficient in it. Easier to study overseas, and get jobs in my opinion.

@Kingfish: It was just a flippant comment, because I'm Asian.

I think speaking English accurately to someone I am conversant with is probably more important to me than it often seems to others I engage in conversation. At times I find it necessary to ask for a clarification as to the precise meaning of their conveyance.
If it is more more often than they do likewise I will know my supposition above is correct.
I am mostly competent in several variants of correct and vernacular forms of English speech used in the Central United States. And make that assertion with trepidation due to my awareness of the ubiquitous nature of sloppily educated contemporaneous adults who feel, and wrongly so, that sarcasm and mockery more profoundly demonstrate their intellectual superiority.

Necessary if you are in any country where English is the national language. Necessary to communicate with people if you are studying in a multicultural school, where the medium of instruction is English. Necessary if you want to transact business with any party that only speaks English. Necessary if you fall for someone who only speaks English.
Optional if you stay in a place where it's not required and you plan to stay there and communicate with people around you only, and browse internet in your language.
English is the only language I speak, but I'd like to learn others.

It's not necessary, but if you wish to study science, it's must.

Russians, Japanese and Germans study science in their language and they are doing pretty well.

@ragingfire: Notice how all of those scientists speak English. It's not that they need English to learn science, but rather to communicate with other scientists from all over the world. They just made English the international language.

Of course, but now a days with plenty of translators available, I think language will be very trivial in future. @KellyHi:

Quite good. It's not necessary but it's very useful...
