Bonjour! Hola! yadyadyada!

Vous parlez Francais? Oui, moi aussi. Did you get that? How about this one, Hola, como-esta? or Ho, Ho, Hotartu Koi. No, you didn't understand that? Me neither. It is a proven fact that the average American speaks one language. American English and I say American English because even the actual English have a different vocabulary than us Americans. If asked, any foreigner would say that American English is one of the hardest languages they have learned. Notice how I used past tense in "have learned". That is right, most foreigners speak English. In fact, many languages are going exticnt because everyone is speaking English. So, why don't Americans speak Japanese or French? Well, the answer is so simple, and yet, so complicated. Americans are LAZY! They are not willing to take the time and become culturally educated. There is a joke about this and it goes something like this: "What do you call a Trilingualist? Someone who speaks three languages. What do you call a Bilingualist? Someone who speaks two languages. What do you call someone who speaks one language? American. Ha, Ha, very funny. However sad this joke may be, it is painfully true. Americans should spand their horizons and learn a different language, I don't know; it's just a friendly suggestion. Maybe the schools should stop cancelling the foreign language classes, and start putting more in. Americans could use a little culture.
