Why don't you try to learn another language?
Answer:
I already speak three , so what was your point.
Who are you asking? Are you asking Mexicans in America who speak only Spanish?
Are you an immigrants, hopefully legal, from south of the US?
Many of us know more than one languages, so what is your point?
Public school attempts this, usually French or Spanish, occasionally latin. I think thats enough though. After school, you're too busy at your job to learn another language, and quite frankly, this skill would 99% of the time be irrelavant to your field.
i don't think so. English is this country's language. if they don't like it then they can leave.
Why should I? I presently have no real need for one. except, perhaps, for 12 to 20 million interlopers that *refuse* to learn *my* language in *my* country.
Who illegals or Americans? If you are talking to Americans, why should we change and have to learn another language for people who want to come here, and I mean all immigrants not just Mexicans.
I have!
If I decided to move to France I would learn French, to Italy Italian, Greece Greek.
I would not expect others to have to speak (or print signage) in English just because I can't speak their laungage, if I LIVE in a country I would have to learn the local language.
i don't have much resolve to now but i do intend to continue studying something.
What... Cherokee?
I try to learn another language but we should'nt have to. People coming here need to learn English.
Yo ya hablo otro lenguaje.
i am fluent in the language of my country. if i ever decided
to live in another country my first priority would be to become
fluent in that country's language. if i ever visited another
country i would first become conversant in that country's
language. as it is i understand a few words in several, but
have never had opportunity to use any of them.
The real question is, what IS your real question?
I took Latin in high school, French and Spanish in college. I studied Korean when I was stationed in Korea, I studied German when I was stationed in Germany. My wife is a Filipino, I study her dialect as well as Tagalog. I have learned "traveler's dialog" in more than a dozen languages.
English is, by far, the most descriptive language on Earth, with a vocabulary of hundreds of thousands of words. French, on the other hand, has a vocabulary of 60,000 words! Come on, Samuel Johnson had a vocabulary, himself, of more than 100,000 words, more than most languages by far today.
Because the average american in the average school system can barely even read,write and speak their own language let alone someone else's.In Europe the average european in the average school system is required to learn a second language,which they do.
The golden rule is: He who has the gold makes the rules. Americans don't have to learn other languages, especially spanish. The only time that an american needs to know other language is when he travels abroad. Imigrants need to know English.
cause it's HARD! I took classes and tried and tried. I couldn't learn Spanish. Some people have a harder time learning new languages. Especially adults.
And I don't want the illegals here, but I do understand their problems with English. It's fricken hard.
If live in the United States, I speak English as this is the language of the land. Get it? If I temporarily travel to another land (to visit), I still speak English. Why would I come out of myself for another? If it is hard for me to communicate in a foreign land, I am going home. Its the right thing to do. And if I am talking to an illegal alien, it will stand to reason why you ask this question. Get a life.
Easy one here, I DO NOT WANT TO.
I tried to learn the 'unwritten language of love' but now the restraining order stopped that...
I know another language, and a smattering of French, as well. Spanish isn't the other language I know.
However, we give bilingual education to those who come illegally, so we can't afford it for our own children at the ages when people most easily learn.
Because it's none of your DAMNED business!
Because I am here, where we all speak English.
