    Area51

    I think in America, people should at least try to learn English, IF they are living here. Vacations, no, there is no reason, just maybe the most important phrases "yes I would like fries with that" "where is the capital" things of that nature. Living here however, I think bilingual would be just fine. I do NOT like it however, when a person gets angry with me in USA, because I DO speak English and not Spanish, or another language......

    • Well they should be saying this is the United States you should speak english. In Mexico they speak spanish and Mexico is part of North America, and then we have Central America and South America...The correct term should be United States...not America, since in saying so makes that comment incorrect, since the United States is not the only country part of the Americas!
