should a puerto rican who "immigrates" to the usa learn english?

Answer 1

You mistyped your question. What you meant was, "Should all immigrants to the United States be required to learn English?"

And the answer would be, "Of course."

Answer 2

Actually your question is INCORRECT. Puerto ricans are american citizens, they are not immigrants, so they do not immigrate to the US. They already live in the US, while they are in Puerto rico speaking spanish. & there are alot of Americans(not puerto rican) from the states that moved to PR & have not learned spanish, so they can ask the same question.

I think it is the individual's choice if they want to learn english. If they can get by w/out it, thats fine. If they do not learn it, they will only hurt themselves. I just think it is noone elses business what they want to speak.

Also to the first answer. English is not the most spoke language in the world, mandarin chinese is & Hindi(India) is second.

Answer 3

Yes. If anyone is given the chance to learn English, they should. It is the language that is most used around the world today. With the knowledge of English and Spanish, the person would be able to get a better job than those that only speak Spanish.

Answer 4

Yes. This would help you to find greater opportunities not only in the U.S. Being bilingual is very important, specially if you speak Spanish. I would recommend you to take ESL (English as a second language) classes.

If you have already "immigrated" to the USA, go to a community college in your area. They offer free ESL classes, so you won't say that you couldn't study because you didn't have money. Some libraries also offer free ESL classes.

Answer 5

When my grandparents immigrated right here from Germany, they did not understand English. My dad used to be born now not understanding English. When my dad began tuition he needed to be trained English as again then, they just taught you in English. There used to be no such factor as ESL categories. he discovered very rapidly out of necessity and so did his mothers and fathers. I have additionally noticeable children come right here from Hong Kong(exceptional alphabet and letter forming), they usually discovered to be fluent in three months additionally with none distinct categories. My daughter has had a couple of alternate pupils with a naked minimal of English that still grew to be fluent in little or no time. I believe by way of have these types of distinct categories, indicators in Spanish, DMV exams in lots of languages or even balloting pamphlets is not just a hugh monetary burden at the US, but additionally keep humans again from having to be trained the language.

Answer 6

Yes, I believe so. If anybody wants to integrate into the american society, must learn english. It is fair, necessary,mandatory, etc. Shouldn't you learn french if you immigrate to France? What if you refuse to learn russian if you go to Russia? Take chinese people for example, they come to Mexico, they maintain their identity, culture, etc, but they DO start by learning spanish, with great sucess in their enterprises, business and integrating into the society.

Answer 7

some people have lived in the u.s. for 20 years without learning english, but it is a definite advantage to learn english and become bilingual. just think of the jobs you can get by being bilingual.
