So you’re saying give them more free handouts?
It has been made mandatory that they learn English and it pisses me of to the extreme when someone in a proffesion plays dumb and pretends they can’t speak English.
I don’t think they shuold get it free but those who go through the system should be made to take English classes.
Absolutely NOT.
When I was in college, I had to take a foreign language. I had many options. I chose sign language. Why?
“Hello! Welcome to America! You speak German? Perfect, you can learn to speak English, the language of this country!”
“Hello! Welcome to America! You speak Italian? Perfect, you can learn to speak English, the language of this country!”
“Hello! Welcome to America! You speak Japanese? Perfect, you can learn to speak English, the language of this country!”
“Hello! Welcome to America! You speak Spanish? Perfect, you can learn to speak English, the language of this country!”
Doesn’t work so well for people who can’t speak or can’t hear (depending on the level of their situation).
Welcome to America. We speak English here. Every race who ever came here, in general, has integrated and learned the local language. Why the should we tolerate this hispanic influx who have no intentions of integrating and learning the local language?
I would venture to say that 99% of americans are offered free Spanish lessons in highschool. Also Spanish lessons are available for free on Itunes.
And why would you think that people should change the way they speak just ’cause you’re around. Sounds a little self-centered to me.
No, I don’t think we should have to learn spanish. Seems how the national language is still English last time I checked. It should be and is an option for people to learn spanish. If the spanish speakers can’t speak and refuse to speak english then why are they in an english speaking country? If we were to go to mexico they would make us speak spanish, they wouldn’t learn english so they could talk to us.
