I speak Spanish.
I don't consider myself racist at all, and I'm usually very understanding. I have friends of all ethnicities, colors, beliefs, etc. But to me, it's as simple as this. If I moved to France, and expected to live there, make a living there, survive there, I'd make damned sure I was practically fluent in French. The same should go the other way around. It needs to be give and take- I don't mind learning and understanding other languages, but I can also get very frustrated when I see some of the people that come to America to spend the rest of their lives without ever making an effort to learn the primary language. In Germany, the primary language is German. In Mexico, the primary language is Spanish. In America, the primary language is English. It's just how it is. Now, like I said, I'm not trying to be close-minded or mean. I just believe that in order to make it in America, you should probably know a bit of English.

The thing about that is that Spanish is catching up. Being the big cultural force it is, it will be smart for everybody to know some Spanish. Yes, English is the primary language, but if something is a massively close second, it can't be ignored.

We all need to learn Mandarin, its the most spoken language in the world, spoken by twice as many people that speak English. Best be prepared for when China mobilise their armies and start a nuclear war in case they win and we have to learn a chinese language :P

I tried learning German, but I don't have much of an ear for languages so I've forgotten much of it. Fortunately English is a Germanic language so I might could get by in a short conversation by remembering things as I go.
