Answer

Of course, the answer to this question cannot be certain, but presumably English will still grow and become more prominent as a lingua franca on the streets, in businesses, advertising and education. However, it is unlikely that it will threaten anybody’s home language, nor will it become the sole language people use. Analysis of language use also shows that even staff of international institutions quite often still use French in public, so it is rather unlikely that this will change dramatically in the near future.
