What one word would you you use to describe people living in America who refuse to learn English?

Answer 1

lazy

Answer 2

CONVENIENCE

I'm from Venezuela. I learned English through all these years. I have had teachers and some other people telling me randomly that my English is superior or better than a lot of native speakers.

There's a big portion of people that don't want to learn the language, but why? Simply because they are living among other people that don't speak it, and that's what has made that particular region a "convenient" area to live for people that don't want to learn. I have lived in Miami-Dade county, Florida and i currently live in San Diego, California. I know what I'm talking about. Even "red neck" people don't speak a decent english, do they? But this is the way it is. Is understandable, at least...

This is an immigrant's country and a lot of its culture has become and developed thank to immigrants. Italian, Chinese and Latin American among others, but it's very important that everybody learns the language that has been spoken for quite some time: English.

Answer 3

I won't place a word on it, but will simply muse about it.

It is funny... so many people in the USA decry "English as a national language", and push "why should anyone be forced to speak English if they don't want to?"

If you move to another country where English is not the language, they expect you to speak their language. They do not teach in English (except maybe a few courses), most of the population does not speak English, and products are not "bi-lingual".

If someone moves here, they should learn English.

Answer 4

Proud.

I really doubt there is any one who REFUSES to learn English. But if they do, I say good for them! America has no official language, why should HAVE to learn English then? If they can survive in a community of their language, then they have no need to learn it.

America was founded on the basis for equality for all. We often pride ourselves as being the "mixing pot." Why would be complete hypocrites and force the culture out of people? We can't make the same mistakes as we have made in the past.

Refusing to learn? Or lack the resources to learn? Rather tough to take language courses when working 2 jobs and when the courses simply don't exist.
