I suppose you think speaking just ONE language was a sign of intelligence on your part? English is the native language of less than 6% of the world's population. Learn another one. Spanish would be a good choice.

No need to learn Spanish - just bend over and take it like a man (or woman). It's the international language like in Deliverance. Where's my Banjo? AHOOO!
OOOH - that feels GOOD!!!

I have a feeling middle aged white folks who have lived in FX County all their lives have no interest in learning Spanglish at this point in their lives.
I know when I traveled in France and Germany, if you didnt know the language somewhat you were fucked. Why is it that Spics can't learn some english?

Never lifted a finger to learn anything before. Why start now? That's why you all make such pliant targets for the disinformation media. Putty in their hands.

Actually, English is widely spoken with some competence by natives in major urban and suburban areas of France and Germany. Even in rural areas, it is typical to be able to find someone somewhere. Speaking French and German of course makes it easier to pick up chicks. Also to get food and directions and other things you might want or need.
But why would you expect more of Latinos in the US than of Americans in France or Germany? Think you're special or something?
Take Spanish classes and learn Spanish? I suppose you could do one or the other, it's not necessary to do both. Seems you have trouble learning one language.
