I'm all for it. There was a time not too long ago when immigrants tried hard to learn English and blend in with every day America. Now there are many who not only don't want to learn English, but want to follow the ways of their native country. If you want to be in America, learn to be an American.

that's 1000% correct..my grand parents (from both sides) came to America from Italy..

THEY HAD to learn English to communicate, and get things they wanted and needed.
 
My mother was born and raised in Finland. She came here legally in the early 1960's. She didn't know a whole lot of English before she came here but took night classes to help with learning English along with business classes before she met and married my father. The English language is a joke compared to trying to learn Finish.
 
You wear your braces on your teeth and your boot is on your foot, you worship the dangling participle. You love a frito pie but hate a fruit cake. You cringe at the thought of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding but happily risk life and limb dropping a turkey into a cauldron of superheated fat. And that concoction you call beer you drink as cold as possible so one cannot taste it. No coincidence I’m sure

You are a funny bunch, you colonials. But at least you have Democracy. Well, for now at least. Sort of…

How long did it take you to learn to speak American ? :ROFLMAO:


I don't know about the democracy thing, but at least we don't get arrested for insulting FB posts or go to jail if we shoot a home invader. Well, not in the free states anyway. As a bonus we can also have pocket knives and slingshots. :)

back in school days (for many of us) French was the language taught.........like ah yeah, imma gonna go to France, to see Lucy's undapants.....

learning a language should have been a choice, not a directive.

i chose "skipping class"...got caught, got suspended, got a few days off from school, then had punishment of staying after school..

i skipped that shite too.......

funny how some of us, rebelled against directives from authoritarians back then

Because in the day, many countries spoke French as an official language to communicate internationally. This dates to colonial days and was long recognized as an international language. Mrs. Cedric took French in HS even though she was born in Germany. Look at Algeria, Syria, Africa, SE Asia all had French speaking populations at a governmental and sometimes local level. What's interesting, is my eighth grade teacher told us that eventually French would be transcended by English as the international language and it happened.

BIDEN look lucid😳. I dunno what your drinking but I’d like some😊. Seriously, my mother’s father’s people came from Bavaria in 1881-grandpa was a babe in arms. Years later after he got married he took his bride to Colorado to meet his folks. His older brother laughed and said “where did you tell them you were born Pete?” He replied “Des Moines” (which was what HE had been told his whole life) and the whole family cracked up. Great Grandpa and Grandma wanted Him to be an American, not a “German American”. My great grandparents spoke German at home their entire lives, BUT they spoke English in public, always. (And they learned it on the ship coming over and after they had arrived.). Why should ANY American have to “press one” for English. You want to live here? Learn the language and be an American. Don’t want to? Go home.
