    Spanish is one of the most useful languages

    I can literally make out Italian and French sentences just by looking at the root of the word and using their Spanish equivalent, but "English is the best language"

    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

    when you fail your class for it you'll be forced to become fluent

    plus a lot of students go ham on foreign languages to make up for the classes they're s*** at

    I never said it’s not good, I just said English is the best because everyone speaks it, there’s a reason they teach other languages to young kids, because after a certain point it becomes hard for your brain to associate words with meaning, so if you do it as a kid it’s much easier, and def helps brain function

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

    unless us census is wrong it sez that only 20% of americans speak more than 1 language

    you're probably right that non-white americans comprise more of that 20% than white americans do, but that isn't really relevant since 80% speaking 1 language still indicates it's a general situation in america, just less widespread within certain populations

    "English is the best language of all time"

    I’d say it’s up there

    It’s modularity, expansive vocabulary, and ability to evolve quickly compared to most other languages makes it a very unique one and an effective candidate for a lingua franca
