What are some counter-arguements against “everyone speaks English anyway”?

I know it’s a bit off topic, but how do you defend learning a foreign language? So many people around me share the mentality that everyone can/is learning to speak English and so learning French/German/Italian is a waste. I want to study German and Law next year and I’ve gotten this reaction several times. How do I counter it?
