I am in Houston for the National Championship game. Dad played for the University of Washington so we’re here for the game.
Anyways. I have only been here for 2 days and am already tired of all the people who don’t speak english and all the advertisements for illegal immigrants. This is America not Mexico.
Had to go down to the front desk of a nice hotel just to get someone who speaks English. Enough!
Thank you! It's not as difficult as one might think, especially when you're living and working in a foreign country and have almost total immersion.
Bottom line, it's about respect and communicating with local populations in their language. If you're going to live in their "house" you need to learn their language. I don't expect people to speak English to me when I'm in their country unless I'm in the hinterlands of Scotland and/or Ireland and everyone is speaking Gaelic!
