It would never funktion and would jail you for hours

I understand, that multiple languages are not needed in the US, but what I dont get is that there is until brazil just one main language other than english spoken. So why not make it mandatory to learn this language a little?

And I would argue that in school you just need to learn stuff for everyday life… For a lot of stuff I learnd in school I will be happy if i will need it once every half a decade.

And if that is something like having a little nice conversation with somebody who doesnt speak english, I say its helpful to learn.

But how do we get the time for it in europe? We startet english in 3. Grade, french in 6. Grade and after that you could choose between spanish and science in 9. Grade in my school. Other people I know had Latin and old Greek or Dutch or polish.

A lot of people in this thread say its a waste of time to have a second language in the US, what do you learn in all this time you have??

I mean, I get that a software on a computer is something.else. But why is the asumption broken?

This about the external threat… the uniting against, was always against other humans from near around. Almost against neighbours. There is still a destruction of our planet where we are not united against. And there is even less unitedness for a fight against warmongering countries.
