Still doesn't justify the megatrend in America to make Spanish our second language. The difference is that these attitudes have infected younger generations, who also don't want to become fluent in English.My wife's great gramdmother WAS in the younger generation when she came here. I know plenty of people who's native language is Spanish who ARE learning English. Where is your evidence that the percentage who don't bother is any larger than it was 100 years ago? And you can't use Spanish TV as proof. There were plenty of foreign language newspapers around in the first half of the 20th century. Most of their readers also knew English, and some didn't, just like now with those watching Spanish TV. |
