how would the world be different

Thread title should be changed to white Americans. Plenty of Latin/Asian/African Americans speak multiple languages

No need.

你真的是我在這個網站上遇到的最煩人的海報之一。我從來沒有讀過你的帖子並想“嘿，這是一個很好的帖子，我喜歡從他們那裡看到更多”。不總是狗屎，比你這層垃圾更神聖。你也讓我討厭宮崎駿。

Most people who are 1st and 2nd generation in america speak multiple languages.

Why would black people speak more languages than white people

Immigrants and their children speak multiple languages, non immigrants and third generation+ don’t usually

I think he mean African immigrants not African americans.

I'm talking about 1st and 2nd generation African Americans, like their parents were born in Africa or the Caribbean.

True but in that case there are many white immigrants in the US too (like me)

We should start teaching mandarin as China becomes the world leader.

In my country knowing english aint s***, you have to be fluent in at least 2-3 more languages and I bet most countries are like that too

meanwhile in america....eagle lands on biden's arm like ''hola pendejo'' and he prouder than ever

This is also why I feel Spanish is pushed as “useful” far too much

It’s really not unless you live in a heavily Hispanic area (and after a couple generations it starts getting lost) or you have an interest in a Spanish-speaking country

We speak English already, there’s not another language that’s gonna be more useful in our lifetimes, high schools should have classes in Uzbek or Lithuanian fr, personal interest

It’s beneficial for as much of the world as possible to speak the same language. English being the global language of business and science has propelled these industries to new heights.

If Americans knew more than one language and it was something useful like mandarin or Spanish then that would be amazing

If it was some obscure irrelevant language then not much would change

It wouldn't make any difference... most other people are bilingual because their countries are so close together.. Americans are close to canada and mexico so there no point in learning other languages unless you're learning spanish in socal, arizona or texas.

Spanish is one of the most useful languages

A lot of european immigrants speak another language. They literally have to unless they are from the UK.

We don’t have to English is the best language of all time
I know some Spanish, enough to understand what customers needs

Ocho y medio
Ok I’ll bring you an 8.5

True, but only 13% of all immigrants are from Europe, Canada or North America

So obviously they exist, but its a much smaller number

"English is the best language of all time"

Spanish can literaly be all you need from brazil all the way to venice

you wont be flexing but you'll be able to get by in local markets and bars

Well yes

But most American high school students take Spanish cause they need a foreign language and it’s the default and never really learn it or use it

Maybe with more choice they could find a language they have an interest in and apply themselves

Asians gonna surpass Latinos in America by 2065
