Annette, no question of *some*. Everyone would like to learn more of a language, specially one which is our context. Without doubt, Konkani is the spoken lingo of Goa. (There are attempts to build it into the written language too, though there is disagreement over how this should be done, what would be the best script, whether compulsion or voluntary approaches would work, etc, etc. Till date, as far as reading goes, English and Marathi are preferred, and this has been the situation since the 1960s at least.)
