I took German in high school, but I can probably only say 1 or 2 words/phrases.

You sound quite ignorant, especially considering you're not even using your native tongue correctly in this sentence. Travel anywhere else and you'll be grateful that other countries bother to learn "our" language!

I have to agree.
I think that if people want to make the Unites States their home, they should at least put forth an effort to learn English since it is the primary language (though Spanish is getting up there too!) just as if I were to move to France, I would learn to speak French!

Alas, I speak a little bit of Spanish (I took 4 1/2 years of it in school but most of it has escaped me since that was about 5 years ago) and I am going to school now to become a sign language interpreter.

I used to ride the bus and was infinitely fascinated with Hispanics when I lived in Chicago.  I did not understand what they were saying.  If I had to learn a language, that would be Spanish.  My sister in Oregon is fluent in Spanish (having to learn it to understand Hispanics when she worked for Los Angeles County). :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

Spanish, which I had paid attention in high school but at that time I couldn't really see the need to speak Spanish but I am trying to learn now so we will see if you can teach old dogs new tricks  :dontknow:

Spanish. I took a few years of it in high school and did very well, but unfortunately eight years of not keeping up with it hasn't done me well. With all the immigrant farm workers and such around I really should dig out my books and relearn what I've forgotten.
