I totally agree with this. I'm teaching myself Japanese, and it's a
difficult task. I can say some basic sentences, I know a few common
phrases, a smattering of the vocabulary, I've learned a bit about the
culture, and I have learned much of the rhythym of the language and can
more easily discern words I know when listening to a person speaking
Japanese.<br>
<br>
I have the benefit of being able to afford a few books, a couple of
dictionaries, one massive kanji reference, some computer programs, and
numerous Japanese-language movies and TV shows and a TV and DVD player
I can use to play them on. I also have the luxury of an Internet
connection, a home computer or two, and happen to speak the predominant
language of the 'Net.<br>
<br>
I don't know how someone who has arrived in this country, for whatever
reason, with no friends who speak English and almost no interaction
with people who do and no money for the items mentioned above is
supposed to just pick it up.<br>
<br>
I also have the luxury, which many of us take for granted, of living in
a situation where I have the freedom to learn the language myself
before emigrating to the country (should I ever choose to do so).
That's not true of many of our immigrants, both legal and illegal. My
country, for instance, is not at war (well except for Iraq, but I'm not
counting that). I'm not dirt poor and in danger of starving to death.
My government hasn't labeled me a dissident (that I know of) and I'm
not in fear for my life. <br>
<br>
So instead of jumping on foreigners who haven't yet learned the
language for not being respectful of our culture (I'm not talking to
you, Art, just in general), maybe we should try to be helpful instead?
Ponder for a while what you know of your own ancestors and what the
reasons were that they emigrated here in the first place.<br>
<br>
I'd rather live in a country that the world envies and fights for the
right to become a citizen of than one that everyone leaves alone
because it's too insular and inbred.<br>

<div>Perhaps one or two comments might be helpful to some in this
debate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Besides the time commitment, there are several
difficulties in learning to speak or write a new language. Learning to
write a new language is difficult if one can only write marginally in
their own language. Despite major progress in teaching ESL, it is not
easy to teach or to learn due to a wide variety of learning and
teaching styles and rates that need to be matched for optimal
learning. Hence, besides motivation and time, other factors can be a
significant deterrent. There are some fine computer based language
learning tools available, but many of those wishing to learn a language
do not have either the hardware or software readily at hand or can
afford it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That is not to say a person choosing to work or to reside for a
significant length of time in another country should not make an effort
to learn the language of that country (and also come to understand
other cultural significances). But it is not like waving a magic
wand. To take advantage of the needed resources to learn a new
language, the resources need to be available at a time when they can be
used.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Having been a systems engineer for a long time and part of
whose mantra is to make things as easy and foolproof as possible, I
think that making multilingual labels and signs helps both the client
and the provider in any situation to meet both of their goals easier.
To fail to do so argues a lack of basic human concern and a fundamental
short-sightedness of basic organizational goals. Perhaps one deciding
factor is the expense in any particular case. In many cases the expense
would be negligible compared to the gain achieved. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Having lived in or traveled to many places that were
multilingual, I found that the businessperson who accommodates his
customers by using multiple languages to communicate will be more
successful in the long run. Doing this builds good will immediately
and in the long run. Not doing it builds bad will that is likely to
last long after those not treated considerately have long learned the
language. They will go elsewhere with their business ever after.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The same can be said of government agencies whose job is to
serve the public. That is not to say that every single form, procedure
manual, or employee needs to be bilingual or trilingual, etc. But much
time is saved and service rendered by making the more common signs and
forms bilingual where appropriate, and in some services having some
bilingual service persons saves a lot of hassle for all, e.g. law
enforcement and medical/health service facilities.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I remember when I was in a saturation course with many others,
all college graduates, attempting to gain a basic speaking and writing
ability in another language. It was a tough go for all of us despite
the time allotted for us to learn and the selection process in choosing
who was to be given this training.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If both parents are working long hours and needing besides to
devote time to basic household and parenting tasks, there is a fatigue
factor as well as a time factor associated with learning a new
language. It is true what you would naturally expect: fatigue slows
and discombobulates the learning process.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A little patience, understanding, help, and humanity might be in
order.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>This is a false representation of what I said. I said I have
the deepest respect for those that try to learn the language and spite
for those that don't. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unless you are mentally incapable, which I doubt most
non-English speaking people in this country are, you should be
attempting to learn the language. Further businesses and other agencies
that print everything in two or 20 languages are only allowing them to
not learn. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many millions of people come into this country and refuse to
learn the language, they stay in cities like LA, Phoenix, and Las Vegas
where everything is in their language. They get jobs, go shopping, and
drive on the roads, not knowing more than three words in English and
don't care to learn it. I am not talking about people 65 who grew up
in an other country until last week, I am talking about people
18-50 that have lived the better half of their life in this country,
and people that refuse to teach English to their children. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone that really wants to learn English can learn English. I
also believe that it is a serious danger to the lives of people in this
country when people cannot communicate because of a language barrier,
it happens everyday, in emergency situations, or situations that
quickly because emergency situations because of a lack of
communication. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes Sue, all the cultures that have come to the US have
learned to speak English. There are no major cities in the United
States where the majority speaks German, the Germans learned English,
as did the French, the Italians, the Greeks, the Spanish, the Russians,
the Swedish, Japanese, all did, even the Slaves that were forbidden by
law from reading learned to speak English. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have to have one language as a matter of necessity, you
have road signs, government literature, communications over the radio,
TV and Internet, the language of government meetings, the words on
printed money etc, can be only adequately done in one language. No one
person chose the English language we all agreed to it many years ago
because it gave us the greatest opportunity in the world. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you haven't bought anything where the directions were
primarily Spanish it is because you haven't bought anything in a
community that is in the Southwestern United States. You probably buy
your stuff in Moscow or Spokane that is 98% White not 40% White. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not having everyone speak one language is not only an
inconvenience, it is also a danger to our society. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Further, I don't even think you should be able to get a
driver's license without being able to speak English. </div>

<div>Now the good Senator can go to Somalia and give the same

English their official languages. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think helping those that cannot speak English in this
country is wonderful. However, I think not learning to speak the
language simple keeps those individuals down in society and hinders
society as well. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the sheltered world of Northern Idaho, Spanish is by
far a second language, but in many other parts of the west, in an
increasing number of places, English is the second language and most
the people on the street are speaking Spanish, not English, the signs
are in Spanish and if you do not speak Spanish you often find yourself
unable to ask the person next to you or an employee at a business a
question. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Even instructions on some products are primarily in
Spanish, with English as the second language. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The US is a nation of immigrants, Spanish, German, French,
Italian Greek, Swedish, Irish, Arabic, Asian, African, Eskimo, etc. But
they all learned to speak English. It isn't favoritism, it even an
American invention, it isn't superiority, and it certainly isn't the
most sensible, logical, or easiest language to master, but they all,
all, even the poor ones, learned to speak the language. They didn't try
to change the country to their culture and language, they added too it,
they didn't destroy it, ignore it, or disrespect it. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the United States we speak English. To refuse to speak
the language of the people in the country you choose to live in is rude
and disrespectful to those in it. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have the deepest respect for the people that come here
and learn the language, but I have nothing but spite for those that
come here and refuse to help out and make everyone cater to them.</div>
