I put a vote in for Norwegian. The grammar is simple and pretty consistent, it can be treated as genderless, and the pronunciation is much more consistent than English. It's easy to learn and sounds beautiful!
I can also speak Spanish (not fluently, but enough to get by), and I have my own irks about it. One of the big ones being that nouns are pointlessly gendered.
Sometimes you need to pass in order to continue straight, but it's not necessary to be trans. If only we were trainsgender we would transcend the concept of passing

Have you ever passed someone anything? Ever played a team game where there is an object you could pass?

Your German lesson of today: umfahren
Jemanden umfahren - to drive around someone
Jemanden umfahren - to run over someone
Know the difference. Have a nice day

For the non-Germans: The difference is which syllable is stressed.
Jemanden umfahren - to drive around someone
Jemanden umfahren - to run over someone

All right that seals it, you don't get to be the world language after English dies. Current leader is now Spanish.
Disqualified languages:
Chinese, Japanese, to hard to learn in school
French, too many silent letters
Dutch.
And now German, for syllable shenanigans
