Interesting to hear that your mother tongue might slowly be overtaken by English.
I think there are two sides to the story. One is losing a very important part of the tradition, which is very sad, but on the flip side of the coin, you have a new generation which might have a great advantage in the increasingly connected world. English is already the language of the internet and the language of science. If you can understand, speak, and write English like a native speaker, you can engage with the world much better.
I think that in some decades ahead, the first language in most countries will be English, and you will learn the formal first language in school, much like Latin today.
