Yep, and English is the worlds buisness language, even in China all college
students take English. To get a head English is the language except for in
the USA haven't we learned anything?

College students in Spain take English too. But if you heard them speak it,
most of them would make you cringe, or die laughing. I try to be kind,
because I know I have un acento más fuerte when I speak Spanish, and they
are real polite about it here.

I think that there is a little misunderstanding about who exactly put the
Spanish menus in the ATMs or the Spanish shows on TV. That would be bank
executives, who want Spanish-speaking people to put their money in the ATMs,
or TV executives who want people to watch the shows. I have Dish Network
myself, and in the United States I have access to 20 Spanish TV channels,
plus Chinese, Polish, French, Arabic, Russian, you name it. Most of the
immigrants or migrants that I know in the States want to speak English more
than anything, but it takes time. If you watched Telemundo or Univision for
an hour, you would probably see six or seven commercials for "Inglés sin
barreras", a product that promises to teach you fluent English in a few
weeks. If you have ever studied any foreign language, you will know that
this is unrealistic, but that is what the networks and advertisers are
pushing on the Spanish language shows. I find that ironic.

The part of the U.S. that I live in, they were speaking Spanish here two
hundred and fifty years before anyone even heard English. Some of them
still do.

oh yes.

I'm sure there are more...
