I'd say the opposite, there are probably more people with English as "second" language than with Spanish or French. According to Wikipedia, the list by native speakers is:

1. Chinese
2/3. Spanish / English (almost a tie)
4. Hindi/Urdu
5. Arabic
...
7. Portuguese
...
10. German
...
14. French

Well... maybe it helps French quite a bit
