Quick question for those who expect Americans to speak other languages. Do you also believe that people who travel (or move) here should speak English? What I've NEVER understood are the people who believe we should speak more languages but in turn believe we should make sure all our signs, packages, etc... have other languages on them as well. Anyway, I speak a little Spanish (4 years) and a VERY little bit of French (2 years), I don't expect it to help me very much as I don't put myself in a position to use it very often. I do however believe that some people should master the basics of their first language before moving on to another. We have far too many people who can't even speak English properly and I'm not even talking about immigrants.
