Guest pod Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I'll gladly respect that people want to keep their native language alive, but on the other tack, I would also say you should make an effort to learn the accepted language of the land you are in.Technically, English is not an official language here. The US does not have one. This is a stickler of an issue that comes up every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be like me moving to Germany and having to learn French to get along. On the same tack, if I moved to Germany, you bet I'd go the extra mile to at least be conversant in German. The good thing about this country is we don't demand cultural conformity on an official level. The bad thing is we make it too easy for people to get away with not learning the de facto language of the land. For any immigrant it is very easy for them to fade into their respective Chinatown/Little Havana/Little Haiti/Little Moscow/Little Newark and not have to learn the accepted local language at all. For entry I would at least demand a working knowledge of English. And that is what scares a lot of bigger business away from Miami other than for establishing their Latin American office. They don't want to have to establish a big office down here only to realize that the workforce they are potentially hiring may or may not have a decent grasp of the de facto official language of the country, which is English.

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 hahaha i want to learn chinese...but it looks really hard Actually English is the one of the hardest languages to learn! I'm sure Chinese is up there! I used to work with this British guy for about 6 months. I never heard him speak anything but English. Then one day some of his Chinese friends came by our work and he started busting out speaking Chinese fluently. It was shocking. No where in all the conversations I ever had with the guy did he mention that he spoke Chinese.Schools in 33 states have Chinese in their programs.

Guest LeVeL Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Hey it is, what it is the United States has always been a Country made of immigrants anyways. It isn't like the Spaniards or Englishmen were born here. They came here discovered America, a land where Indians were here first and imposed their languages to the Indians.When the Spaniards and English came here theye never tried to learn how to speak like an Indian they instead spoke their native tongue. Same things tend to happen to this day in this day in age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cosmigonon Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Being a "newbie" excuse me if this was already adressed.i know that this is Miami, but i think it's really annoying & kinda rude to those of us who ONLY understand ENGLISH, to try & figure out what the hell other people post in SPANISH or another foriegn language, thats where pm's come in handy.If i'm the only one then i guess it sux for me.......REALLY SUX!!Actually, you're the 1st person ever to adress this issue here on these boards. I've been working with greeks for the past 3 years, and even though I'm far from understanding most of it, I've learned some words and phrases, and it hasn't hurt me or anything, maybe you'll learn a little spanish here and there just by reading these boards; I msyelf try to get the gist of the portuguese or pixelspchreck when some people post in it, you know... Besides, half the people here know spanish, so no need to send pm's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
