Whay immigrant istead of learning the language of host country and admit it custome?
Answer:
To me, it makes sense that if I move to another country, I must learn their language and understand their culture and customs. Not to also follow in them, but to understand the citizens of the country to be able to get along with them.
It really doesn't make sense to come to a country and expect them to learn my language and customs. Thats just ludicrous. But we know who does that the most, don't we?
Are you exactly sure you're not an immigrant whose primary language may not be necessarily English? Please, rephrase the question, the erroneous spelling and grammer are all alien to me.
Just following the British example?
I cannot understand your question so if you are in an English speaking country that is a very good reason for you to learn the language!
He's right, go back to school. Then come on here and ask questions. I do understand what you are saying. I speak with people with broken English everyday and they don't seem to understand that cutting a person off in mid sentence is rude.
I've often wondered that myself. I think it is related to comfort and familiarity. Whenever you go somewhere new, you cling to what is familiar, so when groups of people migrate, they tend to look for familiar things in their new country. Naturally this is each other, so they tend to cluster together and practice their native culture in a pocket of people from the same place.
This in itself is not a bad thing, but when it results in exclusionisim and rejection of the host culture the lack of understanding between both cultures generates racial tension, and thats where the trouble starts.
Every culture has a unique perspective on life, some you may agree with, some you may dislike but a little tolerance and the willingness to learn on both sides can go a long way. Without it, you get walls and wars and bad blood that people never get over.
Your question is the perfect example of the problem
well this is true - good to learn the language of the country and mix and talk with the people!
you are doing well - good luck with your studies!
It's fair enough to learn the language and customs of the host country but keep in mind that we immigrants have to practice (not impose) our own language and tradition because they're a part of our true Identity.
So if immigrants stick to what is familiar to them they are setting themselves apart from people who's country they want to live in and alienating themselves. So if they feel that way they should go home and you will be in more familiar surroundings. Do as the Romans do that was what i was told living abroad it never hurt me and i made good friends with the natives, learnt their culture and how to live with them not stand aside from them, i got more respect from them i learnt to speak their language i never felt alone. Your right it is creating tension , friction and resentment and hatred we built this country and now we are the guests treated as 2nd class why come here if thats how they want to be.
Prior to asking such a question, perhaps you need to improve your own command of the English language, which was sorely lacking in your obvious racist comments.
I would call you a numty, which yu obviously are, but then the yahoo police will be on me for insulting you.
You must be an immigrant who does not write good English.
UMMMMMM.....Not sure what your saying. Myabe you have a good reason to learn the langauge of your host country!
they should also learn to spell, but alas this is not a perfect world
why?where ever country you go everybody knows english learns english and every sign every directions has english translations for english speaking people. ... so what yo talking about?its english turn now
I moved to another country and learnt to write and speak the language but I haven't tried to impose Scottish customs on them. However I wonder exactly which country you are talking about as your native language doesn't seem to be English.
If you are an immigrant in the UK
you get a thumbs up for admitting there is a problem
and a thumbs down for being part of the problem.
Have you ever even tried to learn another language? Is learning to speak another language easy? Lets talk about mexican immigrants since that is probably who your question is about. There is no mass refusal among mexicans to learn to speak english. Mexican immigrants know that learning to speak english will help them in their day to day lives. turn on the spanish television channel and you will surely see a commercial for one of many english learner programs being marketed to immigrants. mexicans dont impose their language on america nor are they trying to change the language european americans speak. America has simply responded to the needs of millions of people, the spending power of immigrants is largely responsible for this. Since when have americans been required to speak only one language? In case you havent noticed, mexicans are now as american as apple pie, language and culture and all. If all illegal immigration was halted today, assimilation( who are we kidding: learning to speak english) would eventually occur, not with the freshest group of immigrants, who cannot realistically be expected to abandon thier native tongue, but with their children and grandchildren, just like the immigrants who came before them. The only reason that it seems that mexicans are "imposing" their language on America is that there are so many of them, with more and more arriving every day. they havent been here long. They dont speak english. get it? How Bout granting immigrants a chance? How about granting them a little respect? They are human you know.
I think you have to learn the language if you're living there... You still can speak your own with your family but how are you going to communicate when you go out? When you get on the bus, when you need to ask something what are you gonna do? My boyfriend is Scottish and he lives in my country with me.. and now he's learning my language... i think that's a good example..
