[quote=Anonymous]"Not learning English in the time she has been here doesn't signify little initiative. It has obviously been a conscious choice. Not everyone has the desire to assume a new culture when they relocate. And yet Americans expect everyone to speak English to them when they go abroad. " Americans do expect that you assimilate to a certain extent and that certainly means learning some English after 2 decades and being young enough to be working age still. I think that is really strange and does show lack of initiative. Any American that thinks others "should" talk English to them when they travel is equally wrong. I think most hope that others do though because most Americans do not know foreign languages and many others around the world do know English. [/quote]
