www.studyspanish.com Calculate the probability of this American-type fellow learning Espanol, in order to better accomodate Illegals and Non-assimulating Others. It isn't like I, and most Americans for that matter, have urgent need to communicate better with your barely-monolingual colonists, zerge. I'm sure Mexicans would feel similarly, if there were a plague of American Trailertrash flooding your nation with tens of millions. A few will aspire to jobs that happen to require a lot of multi-lingual usage, but not that many. Additionally, Spanish is not an international language, apart from intercourse between hispano countries. So there is little educational value from that aspect. If I were to learn a new language(s) for that kind of reason, Spanish would be quite a way down the list As individuals, there is just as high a proportion of good people in a Mexican population as in the American population, or any other. But almost no one wants what the Mexican and latin-american nations have to offer, not language, not the authentic culture, nothing really, apart from a couple of specialty products. It's not that some of it isn't adapted to feed trend-seeking pop culture, but if all things of latino origin quietly disappeared tommorow, few would notice or feel a loss, apart from latinos of course.
