Measure to reduce government multilingualism passes with strong bi-partisan margin.

I am Brazilian and I think this is the right thing to do. If they want to go to USA, they have to learn the English language, not expect USA to learn their language.

I love languages but I think one language is enough for a country.

¿Por qué es que las garantías para los defectos del GM se están poniendo en las partes posterioras de los mecánicos? ¿Por qué no los ingenieros o la planta de fabricación trabajadores o el CEO? ¡Toyota paga a sus mecánicos la misma tarifa, garantía o no! ¡En el GM, se espera que calculen hacia fuera los defectos para libre!

No pienso que la gente realiza que los técnicos auto no consiguen $70 o $100 pagados por hora. Eso es lo que carga el distribuidor. Los técnicos medios son pagados entre $20 y $24 por tarifa plana de la hora. Fuera de esto deben proveer sus propias herramientas, cajas y guantes. Los distribuidores deben proveer estos guantes, como esto es una edición de salud y de seguridad.

Ahora lo hace mi hijo hizo más dinero en Tim Horton a tiempo completo en el verano cuando él estaba en High School secundaria que él. Dicen que la única manera de hacer una vida decente en esto está a propia tu propia tienda. ¿Realmente, quién puede permitirse todo el equipo nuevo necesitado para todos los módulos de la computadora?

Espero verdad que consiguiendo la palabra hacia fuera, las cosas cambien. Es hora para un cambio, especialmente con los períodos de la garantía en los vehículos que consiguen más de largo y más de largo. ¡Estos individuos van a morir de hambre! Quizás todos los mecánicos deben ser pagados rápidamente por hora - tarifa no plana.

Mi hijo ha estado trabajando para las representaciones del GM y está dando una sacudida eléctrica verdad cómo son pagados. Cada representación se parece ser igual. Se pagan una tarifa plana en cada trabajo. Si no hay trabajo, no hay paga.

Hay un manual que dice cuánto tiempo un trabajo específico tomará y que es el tiempo que consiguen pagados si os tome más tiempo o no. Realizo que el primer pensamiento es que bien, si toma menos tiempo, entonces consiguen pagaron más. Bien, menos tiempo sucede raramente y nunca compensa toda la hora adicional.

El a lo peor es trabajo de la garantía. Si es un trabajo de la garantía, la representación consigue evidentemente pagada menos que el manual dice del GM. Consiguen una tarifa de la tienda. No sabemos cuáles es esto para seguro. El mecánico consigue pagado menos que qué se indica en el manual - generalmente sobre mitad.

Salarios de los mecánicos demasiado bajos: Lector

Estoy escribiendo esta letra en la frustración, la decepción y la incredulidad.

Mi hijo es técnico auto licenciado. Mi marido y yo te animamos a que entrara este comercio como lo creímos para ser uno que lo proveería de un buen estándar vivir. Él tiene una aptitud verdadera y un amor genuino de coches.

Ahora realizo porqué hay tal carencia de la gente en este comercio. No hay absolutamente dinero que se hará en este trabajo sucio, desagradecido.

I'm fluent in Spanish, but I want to learn French or Italian when I go to college. I haven't had exposure to any. Is it possible to become fluent in another language that you haven't learned until you started when you were 18?

I study at a public French high school/middle school. I've been studying French at quite a high level for six years, and getting good grades. I really enjoy languages, and I love France!
When I’m watching a French movie, hearing a song in French etc., I understand most of it. However, I speak pretty dreadfully, due to the fact that, for an unknown motive, my French professors detested me and did not allow me to take much part participating during the lessons. Anyway, I took a few beginners’ books in French and started reading them.
I’d appreciate any practical advice on improving and preserving my French.

I met this really sweet guy. He is Mexican and I am Black. I speak limited Spanish, but I can follow a conversation though. He speaks limited English, but he can understand for the most part. But I want to have an extensive conversation with him besides the basic daily talk and I cant express myself without us sitting at the computer.

If something is too difficult to put into words, I will type the English version and it will show the Spanish translation with an audio pronounication. It is actually a fun learning tool, but it gets difficult sometimes if we are at a various location without the assistance.

I have been desperately been wanting to learn Spanish & Arabic for years. It's really mandatory in America. I am wondering can this work in the long run? Has anyone else tried this? What is a good way to start learning another language? Talking with someone daily will help I suppose because you hear it all day everyday.

I need some help solving a debate. We(me and my friends) need to know what the hardest language in the world is. It has to be learnt from a foreign tounge(like you can't say english is easy as you started at the age of one if your native tounge is english). Any refrences, studies, websites, books etc are welcomed and encouraged.

I am sure that 2 ways to agree with this sentence are:

*So do I .....and
*I do, too.

what about "me, too" when can we use it?

I feel a bit confused about how to pronunciate the 'CH' correctly. It has a sound in words like chase, check, chill, chocolate or chunk... but another in ache, monarch and choir.

English is my second language and I learn many new words reading... thus I must figure out how do they sound, I use patterns of another words I've learned, but I have not a clue here... What do you know about it?

Are the English majors and English Professors of the world providing feedback on this to the OED, Merriam Websters Dictionary, other dictionaries?

In the future should corporations and even governments be empowered to change the definitions of words in dictionaries?

I hope that this topic receives a thorough discussion far and wide...

Or is this topic really not a big deal?
