Education takes the form of not only formal educational programs but also of using grammatically correct language during entertainment fare.Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. I appreciate it, and won't call you a racist, unlike other races in America who want their grammatical errors to be recognized as a legit version of English. We obviously travel in different circles. I guess. But we're both middle class guys from Queens, who have lived through the makeover of Queens over the last twenty years, and we each have our own point-of-view. The way I see it, the Russians in America assimilate fast, even though they faced more obstacles than any Hispanic group in America. They have a better attitude, and it shows in their abilitiy to learn English, and blend into America's middle class. I'm a bit confused. I'll accept your statement regarding your fluency in Spanish and never having lived in Mexico. Doesn't that preclude your expertise regarding how Mexican hotel personnel spend their time? BTW, those TV English lessons in China were on broadcast television. Not only hotel personnel watched them. The local populace would practice what they had learned on our group the next day. No. I didn't always speak Spanish. So they used to speak to me in English. Most hotel workers in Mexico speak English. Makes sense. I'd love to know what Russian newspapers you can find in Flushing. I lived on the Forest Hills/Rego Park border for about ten years, in the heart of Queens Bukharian and Georgian populations, and I've never seen Russian language newspapers for sale. I believe The Bukharian Times is printed in English, which is amazing. Yet, El Diario de Mexico and two other Spanish-language newspapers are sold all over Forest Hills, and other sections of Queens. |
