Copying Sandra's words, My grandparents and same with my husbands grandparents
also came to this country and immersed themselves in the culture and language, manged to obtain jobs and succeed and later raise a family and maintain both their cultural heritage and their language while at the same time, learn what it meant to be an American, including learning the language.

If I was to go live in a non-english speaking country
I would learn or try to learn the language.
I also think it's a shame it is not
manditory for our children not to learn
spanish as a secondary language starting in grammer school.
JMHO
I agree 100%.
