(how do you embed youtube videos on this forum? others I hit its a [yvideo= tag)

Can this guy be any more self contradictory? Yes english should be the only language in the United States. Now you should teach your kids spanish so illegal immigrants dont have to learn ENGLISH. Yeah lets just give them the power to kick us out of our own country, or whats left of it...
 
liberal racism. Every liberal knows Mexicans are not smart enough to learn English. that is why we need to make sure our superior American children learn their dirty Spanish language so we can tell them how to cut our lawn.
 
My imaginary kids would only learn spanish if they wanted to. I don't care. I wouldn't even teach them english myself, I'll just bankroll on the crappy public school system.
 
NAU coming soon, hint, suggestion and fore warning?

He just might know something that most of us don't, since his wife is a CFR Director.
 
I am a big fan of multilingualism, but not with Spanish. It is a very easy language to learn (especially if you know more than one European language like I do), but I'd much rather learn Japanese or Korean. Maybe it's just me, but I've found that every person in Latin America I'd actually want to have a conversation with would rather speak English. I'm sorry, I just don't have much in common with people in some rural village, and urban professionals tend to understand the value of English. This also is the case in parts of Europe and India. Learning several languages that are so similar to each-other is a waste of time - just learn the most economically useful language in each major language group, which for European languages is English.
 
With global warming and all their natural resources, I think it would be more practical to learn Canadian.
 
You should learn Spanish anyways.... It's not a terribly difficult language to learn and it makes business sense. I regret quitting after Spanish II, I'll probably be putting some time in soon to correct that.
 
I'm in the process of teaching myself Spanish, just for the sake of being able to obfuscate in another tongue. The predictions are that this nation will be 30-40% Hispanic by 2030, so it makes sense to be able to communicate with them all.

Plus, who doesn't want to pull a Chris Dodd the next time someone asks them about immigration issues? :D

shouldn't that 30-40% learn to speak to us instead?

the burden should be on the immigrants, not the natives

Eh, I've got no particular attachment to the English language, aside from my natural bias that comes from being born into it.

Considering that they are us, I think it makes sense for us to be able to communicate with ourselves.
 
Chinese, English, Hindi, and Spanish are the dominant languages of the world. Get used to it.
