I want Trump to Make America so Great that I never have to press 1 for English ever again
Let's conquer England first and then we can just take their language and call it 'American.'
Hell, we beat them before..
and bailed them out twice
Yes!
I've lived Germany for the past 6 years. Anything "official" here is all in German and only German. I can say that the attitude of "we speak murican" is not really the best way to get people to assimilate to a place.
Because my German isn't absolute perfect and there is no other option other than speaking German when it comes to things like Visa appointments, getting a driver's license, paying bills, etc. I'm often hung up on over the phone, refused appointments, it flat out screamed at when I don't immediately understand something. After 5 years of this, I've not only started to actively avoid these interactions, I've decided I'm done with Germany and will be moving away in 2 months, despite really trying my best to live here.
Having an option to at least communicate in a common shared language would make me %100000 more willing to stay and "assimilate"
America is and always had and always will have an extremely diverse population and for those who have just arrived, having at least a way for them to navigate their assimilation process in a language they are maybe a bit more comfortable with would be a massive help and probably speed up the process.
"....despite really trying my best to live here"
Learn the language of your hosts. Especially after 6 years
Press 2 for English.
That’s how they do it in Japan. Learn Japanese or you’re screwed.
They do have tiny markers in English here and there, mainly on lower right corners of train and subway signs. But that’s about it...
