Why are we so quick to expect people in different countries to adopt our language? Perhaps it is because English and French are the international language of business and diplomacy. Most educated business people speak one of these languages. They are the languages spoken at the U.N. The Mexican economy, especially norther Baja are most dependent on the U.S. and its citizens. I would think that the Mexican education system would begin teaching English in elementary school through the university level. I, also, think that Spanish should be required of American students, because the majority of the Western Hemishphere speak it. |
