Re:Children learn English this way now (Score 1)

Hmmm, I find that to be true. I was sitting here giggling to myself, thinking how little the Americans know about other langugages. But the bizarre fact is that the Britains are worse. Still, I can understand it, and would probably have done the same thing myself, if I was born in an english speaking country. Why use so much time learning another language, when it's not necessary ? But the worst example is France. They really expect you to speak french if you visit France, and they don't bother learning english. They like to imagine themselves that french is just as universial as english, even if they have no reason to do so. Who the hell speaks french outside France anyway? A few Canadians and some poor pygmees deep in the African jungle I would say. Last year I was in Cambodia, and met 3 chainsmoking french girls. It was like they were pissed of because the former french speaking Cambodians now spoke english instead! Yuck, french sucks, and it doesn't sound good either.
