[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have traveled to many countries and have always been impressed that the citizens in these countries could speak multiple languages fluently. The US is the only place I have ever been that the people are so stupid and think being fluent in multiple languages is a bad thing. [/quote] America is a huge country. Texas is larger than all European countries except Russia. If I am French and 2 hours away in three different countries, everyone speaks German, Italian, or Spanish then it behooves me to speak these languages. Whereas 3,000 miles away in California they speak the same language I speak in NY, I have zero need to speak anything other than English. [/quote] Yeah... most French people refuse to speak another language. The truly multilingual places are the nordics (high proficiency in English) and Switzerland (where there are multiple official languages). [/quote]
