    I'll give you that one. Being bilingual is a major plus in the work world.

    For the most part I agree with you, I think that people should learn English. What I have noticed though is that when people move here from elsewhere they surround themselves or move to places where the people are like them or family of them...Meaning that in order for them to get by they never have to speak English. I did a report about that in college...I decided to do "A Day in Chamblee/Doraville," and in that entire day the only time that I needed to use English was when I went to an immediate care clinic, but even then they were more than willing to find and interpreter(sp?) for me. You see what I mean? If there is no real need for you to learn something then you wont. Some people make sure that they can communicate effectively whereas others just get by.
