What is misleading? They are talking about teaching portuguese not english.

The already speak English and in any cas eEnglish is the most common foreigbn language taught as it is the most useful to speak. It may shock you to know that its possible that more Brazilians are able to speak internationally understood English than do Guyanese.

It is a misconception to say that people of of different nationalities can only understand each other thru English. English is being around as international language since the second war only, when it took over the French language. Before French you had Spanish and before that it was Portuguese. Portuguese, Spanish and French languages dominated the world longer than English has. The situation with Chinese is going to be quite different. Note that there is a China town in every major city of every country in the world.
