Why shouldn't American kids be focred to learn another language like practically every other country in the world in school?

[gouldy]

To answer the question in the image, no.

A very good point! If you cant speak english then you should get out, you illegal bastard

^Thats a bit of a broad statement, don't you think?

there is a difference in learning a different language, and stoopping down to other people who are to lazy to learn the widely accepted language.

Maybe its the other way around, people are too lazy to learn anything other than English. [:P]

To graduate highschool nowadays you have to have 3 credits of another language, atleast everywhere that I have lived.

No, you don't need any language to graduate, but you need at least 2 to go to a 4 year university, but they recommend that you have at least 3.

actually you are right, but last I heard you need to be able to speak english to come into the US legally

you said it.. eye roller of a question.. rhetorical and nationalistic too...no i've never wondered that.. ever.. my mind won't let me... of course i don't spend my day listening to right wing talk radio either...
p.s. genesis 10-11 ought to clear it up for some people. at least many of those who'd actually contemplate that. sarcasm encourages sarcasm. personally i like gouldy's answer best of all.

Guys ... the recording is done in English. Why not continue on talking in English and to use ANOTHER language press a button? Why do I have to press a button to continue using the language already being used?

And uh, the Tower of Babel? That's a little far reaching, even for me to get on that boat, Jay. LOL

[jayman]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............................. [sillyme]

[jayman]

because you accidently pressed a number other than "1"

English is the hardest language to learn, its a wonder how it got to be the most widely used language...

I prefer French, it sounds better, its easier (not as easy as Spanish) and it makes women horny.

I think we should forget about French and start learning more about First Nations.

See, I'm still trying to get over that classic

English (U.S.)


???

But still, doesn't it just go to show how idiotic a lot of the world is that you have to select a language that you're already listening in? I think it does.

What is even odder is when you have to explain the joke.

[Coasterkidmwm]

I thought Chinese and Norwegian were the hardest?

[hyyyper]

i have to learn dutch, german, french and english, and to understand brainless idiots shouting at my while there on drugs, i have to learn turkish and maroc also

Turkish is an awesome language. [:)] So is greek. I hate french though, but i took that for GCSE [:(] lol. I think its much better to learn another persons language, than to expect them to speak yours. As long as they do it too [:D]

theres only one great thing about learning to speak french, you can shout abuse at them in there language so they can under stand you to.

also i love that the best language in the world is still called english. thats right america, you may rule the world but you still speak in our toung and nothing can take that away. the english rule and thats that.

god save the queen.

[^]ohh m geting all patriotic[^]

i love england.

I do enjoy laughing when installing programs onto the computer where you have to select a language and they only seem to have 'English (US)' I guess the fact it's called English must confuse most of the Americans, plus why have the dumbed down (/american) version of English anyway. What annoys me even worse is when you get Indian people who come to live in the UK who can't speak a word of English, what's that all about? If you can't speak the language, don't live in the country
