Thread: "Why do I got to learn Spanish? Why can't they learn English?" America Heated Discussion

We are the dumbest country in the world as far as language is concerned. It bugs me when people complain about having to learn another language or piss and moan about just having to learn a few phrases when they go to another country. The majority of the people in the rest of the world know 2 or 3 languages at least. If you grew up in China, you'd probably know 3 or 4. If you grew up in South Africa, you'd probably know anywhere between 4 and 8. I am ashamed to be a stupid American who only knows one language and I wish I had been required to seriously learn one when I was in school.

As it is, the required language programs in this country are a joke. I took spanish for 2 years in highschool and I didn't learn anything. Except, "como se dice" which means "how do you say".
