Why can't Americans adapt by learning to speak Spanish it is a beautiful language it is their future ?

Answer 1

It's not that we don't want to, ok maybe some of us don't. It's the fact that the main language here is english and we shouldn't have to change to accomidate(sp) people who only come here to work then leave, or come here illeagly.

Answer 3

This is America where the language of English is spoken. We shouldn't have to accommodate someone that doesn't want or can speak the English language. Spanish is not the language of the future, America has far more people from different countries that don't speak English now,that certainly won't learn Spanish. You start thinking that, you're going to start finding alot of Spanish people in cemeteries.or sent back from where they came from.

Answer 4

Why should I change for a bunch of illegal immigrants who don't have jobs or pay taxes? This is the United States of America not Mexico. Learn to speak English or go back to Mexico and stay there.

edit
Why is it when people move to the United States they expect us to learn their language? However if I was to go to Mexico, China or any other country I would be expected to speak that language. I can assure any hispanic immigrant legal or illegal the United States is the only country that will make an attempt to cater to your needs. Anywhere else you would be expected to learn the local language. So my question to you is "Why can't you put forth the effort to learn English?" btw I do speak some Spanish, German and Italian. I will be more than happy to use any of those languages when I travel abroad to a country where that is the official language.

Answer 5

Because no one adapted to the language of my ancestors, and bothered to learn Swedish or German or French. Just because the immigrants today usually speak Spanish, that doesn't mean that everyone else must conform to their language. I'm all for more of us learning foreign languages, but the lanuguage spoken in the US is primarily English. We do future generations no service by pretending that they don't have to learn it, since it's PC to show respect for other cultures by insisting that everyone else "convert" to the minority culture.

Answer 6

I am bilingual. Fluent in Spanish and English. I don't believe it is the language of our future, however.

Most Americans don't learn Spanish because they don't have to. However, most college students are opting for Spanish, as are high school kids because it is definitely the second most useful language in the USA. It is an intelligent thing to do if you are in school to minor in Spanish. It will be used more than any other 2nd language.

Answer 7

Why should Americans learn to speak a language which is not native to their own?

It should be the other way around!

But FWISW, I speak fluent Spanish, German and I have some understanding of French - I am also a Brit who lives in the States.

So when someone tells me why don't I speak I certain language or take the time to learn - I simply reply with, why don't you take the time to learn mine, after all you are in *my* country - or the country where I live.

Answer 9

Answer 10

When the Mexican language can cure cancer, put satellites into orbit and put a man on the moon, I will consider speaking Spanish. Until then I will continue speaking the beautiful English language... thank you very much.

Answer 11

Half the people in this country can't speak or write proper English, do you really expect them to be able to handle learning a second language when they don't have a grasp of the first?
