I am an American, therefore, I speak English... as should everyone else that lives in my Country.madjid wrote:Kyle speaks American.
And that's that.
One thing that bothers me is running into people in my own Country, that live here, who hardly know a word of English. I understand wanting to talk to your family and friends in any language, but when I can't go up to you and ask you a question unless I want to be greeted with a blank stare, you just shouldn't be living here.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea that people move here from other countries, and I love being very diverse, but that shit just bothers me.
but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.
So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,
I'm just not ready to leave my room.

Plus, Kyle's comment was 100% racist.

I said that I don't mind people talking to one another in different languages, I just think people should be able to hold a conversation with me in the language that they are required to know when they move here.
but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.

no. the constitution tells what the government doesn't have the control over.

Re: how many languages do you speak ?
then you should fix it cos legally that people can speak whatever they want , you see in my country we have two official languages catalan and spanish , and we have the duty and the right to use themMystery Of You wrote:no.Still Waiting wrote:i understand what you say and it pisses me off sometimes , but i guess that my situation is kinda different than yoursMiss Cindy wrote:I am an American, therefore, I speak English... as should everyone else that lives in my Country.madjid wrote:Kyle speaks American.

Re: how many languages do you speak ?
Spanish is my native language and English is my second language.
I used to know very little French but it's all pretty much cleared out of my head now.

Re: how many languages do you speak ?
i was obviously kidding when i called Kyle's comment a racist one.
And yes, i am bothered with people from all over the world hating America and bitching about Americans and their actions, and yet they'd eat shit for a green card.
If you're ever in a country, speak it's official language, or gtfo (this doesn't apply on tourists)
Arabic
French
English
Some German.
