Many Europeans learn English and are highly fluent. In fact it puts us to shame when we almost "expect" foreigners to speak English to us even in their own country.selenau837 said:See you learned THEIR language so you can speak with them. They didn't learn your so they could speak with YOU. That is my point exactly. You did what YOU had to do to fit in with THEIR country. That is what I wish others would do here. Learn the language of the country they are going too.
For example, Rak is Dutch yet his English is superb, I doubt thats his first language.
I can't see why you (Americans) are against learning a language - surely its also for personal development and enjoyment- the same as learning anything. If you went to Spain or Mexico on holiday (vacation) wouldn't it be nice to speak Spanish?
