Im in love with other cultures and i am the first to want to learn a new language. I believe that languages are the tickets to understanding another culture and its customs. I am intrigued by how many languages we have in the world and wish i knew all of them. Unfortunatelty since our language development halts significantly after puberty it is hard to further learn all the languages i wish to learn but even so i am determined to learn as many as i can. I am ony 17 so i am sure i have a long time to acquire many new language skills. Im an American and im quite the opposite of this stereotype.

My grandparents came from Italy and France. They had to learn English and never demanded Americans learn their language or give them special consideration. Noone ever said to dial 2 for French.I resent having Spanish shoved down my throat. My grandparents spoke their French and Italian at home, and spoke English at work or when out in the community. Spanish people should not get any extra consideration. We are discrimating against other nationalities by having to dial 2 for Spanish. I am an American and speak my countries language.

A lot of them want to learn new languages, it's just that the official language of the U.S. is English, therefore if you live here you should speak it. That's the same with other countries as well. If I went to Mexico to live I should learn Spanish. I don’t think all Americans are that way.

Not all Americans are that stupid. The time I think we shouldn't have to is when they come to America and expect us to learn it. So how come most Latinos don't know Portugese? I go to foreign countries I try to learn the language.
