But, I am sure that it's not all the people are really well mastering the English and getting a better destiny as their English. We all know that Chinese is almost dominated the trades in the world after US. But, I really have thought that learning English is still important whatever the reason.

Let's not be ostriches. 1. Our native tongues are important because they represent each one's culture and heritage. It's foolish not to know your own language. 2. ENGLISH is important and let's not be egoistic about it. It's spoken in a lot of countries around the world and those countries that speak English are going up the ladder. 3. We wouldn't be talking to all of us if we didn't know English. 5. America is not the mother of English. England is. And England hardly talks about it. They have no proud claims even though the language comes from their soil. It's an important language. To know it means, you have more than half of planet earth to network with. Not knowing the language means being a frog in our little or larger wells. Come on! Let’s not be ostriches. 1. Our native tongues are important because they represent each one’s culture and heritage.

I also admit that it amazes me when i hear someone speak in many languages or people who are linguist because it makes them look smart, but not just to look smart but in some studies it shows that when you know different foreign languages, your brain also changes and improves. So i guess it is best to learn many languages..by the way nice post!!

Reading the posts here, I am saddened to have noted that many were of a "bashing" nature. As individuals, we are gifted with the Freedom Of Choice ... this includes .. to learn a language or NOT to. I am a Canadian citizen by choice, but consider that perhaps I am more a citizen of the world. I say this only because I have been travelling the world since I was knee high to a grasshopper; living and working in many countries. My ethnic roots go to many countries, but the main (two branches) are Spain and Philippine with connections to The United States Of America. As a child growing up I spoke English, Cantonese, French and Macanese. Since, having lived over 40 plus years in Canada, and speaking mostly Englsih, I am out of practice with the others ... which is unfortunate. I currently reside in The Netherlands, and would very much like to learn Dutch which I find to be an extremely difficult language.; especially since my hearing (pitch & tones) have been damaged .. due to a severe auto accident when I was still living and working in Canada. My purpose for having joined Abroad Language, was primarlily to find friends who would like to penpal with me and learn (online) ... Todate, I have only received messgaes from young women seeking an intimate relationship ... I am NOT interested! I am trusting that with this posting, I will succeed in achieving my goal which is linguistic knowledge. Hello to all.

I am an American, born and raised here, but my ethnicity is still German and many others. Does that make a difference? I would have to say, I wish our education system was better. It is not the Americans that are unwilling to learn it is the school systems that do not promote and teach. The schools here only teach about American Government and seem to focus more on our Constitution and History than other countrie's systems. We do have a World History class that is required but, I strongly believe we should reform our school system to teach more about the world. But discriminating against us isn't right either. High school students are required to learn a secondary language... so... =) Just stop discriminating, I promise not all Americans are as dumb as is portrayed of us. ^^ It is really, truly unfair to judge Americans in this way.
