i lived in germany for 2 years and even tho most people their speak english i made the effort to learn german. i have 2 neices who live in germany and their school is taught in german. not english to accomadate them.

most people in europe yes they are bilingual, french/english, german/english, danish/english. see a pattern here. they are not learning to speak 2 languages because they want to, they are learnig because after WW II the US and england set up the world so that all commerce would be conducted in english. you do find the occasional person who speaks french/german. but it is still mandatory they learn english in school.

what we need is to make english our official language then make it mandatory that in ordor to become an american citezen you have a working knowlage of our language. and a 4th grade grasp would more than likly be sufficiant to communicate in out country effectivly
