A post on Twitter claims that the Latvian language increasigly gives way to English language that is sometimes spoken even between Latvian natives, especially youth who consider speaking English "cool". Is this an actual videspread thing that endangers Latvian or some overblown conclusion based on actions of a small subset of people? What do you think is the future of Latvian language? The post seems to be from september, sorry if the question already appeared here.

My girlfriend’s son was 4 turning 5 years old when I first met him, he seemed to know pretty much perfect English from a combination of cartoons / YouTube / game and hearing my girlfriend and I FaceTime. Now he’s 7 and started school and sometimes he involuntarily starts speaking English with his peers.
there is actually a lack of Latvian media
I don’t know, neliekas really, ka mēs tā daram.
