zoom909 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah, but the majority of Europeans are bilingual or even trilingual. Now even most Chinese people are keeping the English the learn after college because it's important in the business world. If they can do it, why not America? Everyone has the same capacity to learn a language. Perhaps I'm just being too idealistic here though... But Europe is set up differently, right? North America is just a few countries/languages in a big space. Compared to that, Europe's got more countries than you can shake a stick at, each with different languages, all close together. They can even pick up each other's TV broadcasts and stuff. I've seen recordings from European TV stations, they often have multple audio tracks on there and multiple subs. That kind of environment better lends itself to a multi-lingual attitude, probably. And English is important to everybody these days--it's the (current) world language. Quote
