Hola como estas and what not

About half of us can curse in spanish relatively well

Also southern dialects are pretty distinct with words that are easily heard but hard to decipher in text for north and westerners (ex. Uon, eem, prolly, churen)

Boston and New Yorkers can be hard to understand for some people people

One of the best methods of improving your native tongue is to learn a new, very different one. It forces you to examine your native language in ways that would not occur to a unilingual.

Americans speak more languages than any other country in the world.

It's just we don't officially speak other languages as a whole. It's mostly a we don't have to or have a need to thing.

You can turn it back to bashing Americans though, that's fine.

It's actually the truth if you think about it.

If Americans actually attempted to learn to speak the languages of everyone else around them they would have to learn dozens of languages.

Regionally some areas have a good understanding of Spanish though.

High School mostly requires 3 years of a foreign language.

It's just.... there isn't a lot of use for it, with the exception being areas like the southwest where Spanish is spoken as a 2nd language for many.

Anyways, there was also this thing in the USA where immigrants that came here made a conscious decision to not impart their language on their children.

Europeans always pride themselves as being so smart, but they never really put two and two together.

I'm Texan and my girlfriend is 100% Mexican. I know quite a bit of Spanish, and I expect at some point I'll be pretty damn fluent. This is because I live close to the border and I associate with people that speak this language.

Europe is full of countries huddled together like a poor family in a single bedroom apartment. They deal with each other every day. It's part of your livelihood. If you travel, chances are it'll be somewhere where the language is different.

In America, if I have plans to travel, it's to Vegas. Or to California. Or maybe New York. It doesn't benefit me in the slightest to waste my time learning a language I will never speak. It's actually a very bad; if you don't use it you lose it. It's the equivalent of going to school to learn marine biology when I never intend to go near an ocean.

The only beneficial language an American can learn is Spanish. And a lot of them know it down south.

Europe. Get your shit together. Languages are learned out of a necessity. We don't have that necessity. It doesn't mean you are smarter, it means your dumb asses can't get on the same page.

I took Latin in grad school, and also Italian.
>>
>>736101293
Yup

Piling on on this point, I lived in Germany for two years so I learned that language as best I could. When I traveled around Europe (france/italy/Czech/Slovakia/Croatia) not a fucking one of them spoke any German. But, I could get by speaking English. Same thing with some Algerians I was hanging out with, they know they need to learn English to succeed in global business.

tl; dr: english is universal language on Earth, we won .... deal with it

Where I live, the suburban all-white schools graduate 99% of students and literally everyone goes to college, where 5 miles away, the inner city schools graduate 48% of nignogs and about 10% go to college.
I'd rank America's white suburban schools with the best in the world.

Native language is one of the dominant languages spoken in the world.
It's the same reason as most French, Spanish (and latin american) and Chinese only speak their own language.

There is no need to speak something else when you only need your native language.
