Aren't we usually quite impressed when we meet folks who speak multiple languages?
Why is it then that we (white Americans) so stubbornly refuse to even speak a second language?
In Europe, they learn the languages of their region, typically, I believe.
They learn the language of their country and also of the bordering country or countries.
We (white Americans) should just accept the reality of what is going on around us and assimilate to the languages spoken in our region.
For most of the states in the south west, that would be English and the regional Spanish dialect.
Quoting: Vasily I have nothing wrong with learning other languages, and yes people who typically speak multiple languages are said to be more intelligent. However aside from simply learning another language, its the fact of cultural and social shifting that is taking place. By force, design, or simply due to other trends.
