        Every American should totally stop speaking all languages that originated from foreign countries!

        Also, WTF is with teaching the "Latin alphabet"? We should be teaching American children only the AMERICAN alphabet!

        Sadly they have never experienced the thrill and joy of another language.

        I began learning French in January. By taking weekly classes, using Duo Lingo, listening to movies and cd’s. Last night I went to my first French meetup group. It was thrilling to listen and converse in a new language.

        The only thing that bothers me when I hear people speaking another language is that I never bothered to learn it myself.

        Just came back from visiting Washington, D.C. What is with the food outlets with French names. Plus, should "L'Enfant Plaza" be pronounced with a French accent? BTW, there are many names of places with French names (e.g., in Wisconsin).
