If you're going to live in a country, please learn their language first
544 replies, posted
You have no idea how difficult it is being an immigrant, working multiple jobs trying to make ends meet, and learning how to deal with people in an entirely new way that makes no sense. It takes decades to really understand the language. Also you should learn at least one language beyond English unless you just want to be an ignoramus cunt your entire life.

Don't even get me started on the Reptilian shape-shifters who control the government.

k. Alright. I think we can officially disregard him as a troll now. Let's just ignore him, maybe he'll go away.

You mean besides the millions of immigrants that comprise American society? The billions of people who immigrated here from other countries?
[QUOTE=Motoko Kusanagi;29830898]That was a joke.[/QUOTE]
Like you, and everything you've basically said here, right?
I agree people should try to learn the language of the country there moving to, but it’s much easier to try to learn the language when you’re already in the country, being around people/signs/tv shows that already use it

Hey bro. Shut up. Stop pretending like you know jack.
How stupid do you have to be, to pick up the phone [b]in america[/b] and answer in a foreign language? Its rude and just illogical.
Also, why should anyone learn another language if they don't need to and probably never will use it in their life? No reason, bam, you got it. The only reason other people learn english is because they will likely be using it in their lifetime frequently.
I used to know spanish pretty well (as well as I could have with quality of the class), but eventually forgot a lot of it because I just didn't use it. What the fuck do you want me to do? Constantly study it so some poser kid on the internet doesn't think I'm an ignoramus? Yeah, I'll get right on that.
That doesn't mean I'm ignorant to other cultures or anything like that. When your in my house, you follow my rules, when you're in my country you speak my language, follow my laws, and learn my customs. If you don't like it. Please sir. Get the fuck out.

hey bro
clearly you don't realize the difficulties most immigrants face
stop making it sound like learning english from the ground up is easy, because it isn't, and don't assume people aren't willing to learn english, because that's not true either
[QUOTE=thisispain;29831129]they aren't real[/QUOTE]
They stand for something though don't they bud. Can't run from that.

I don't care if english is the hardest language in the world. That's not my point.
and I don't care if "people" don't want to learn english. If you live in a country and don't speak its language. You will be harassed, insulted, and yes you deserve it.

typical dumb intolerant shit
it's not your 'house' it's a fucking country
and you have no right to tell people to 'get the fuck out'

You have no right to tell the people of my country how to run their country and how to respond to people who reject their culture.
Its called an analogy and yes, if you plan to live in a country, you learn its language. Common sense.
Please tell me the ignorance in that. Can I go to spain and start talking to people in english. No because that'd be retarded. Oh yes and your favorite buzz word: ignorant.
[QUOTE=J Paul;29829437]You might find it interesting to know that, at the time of our nations' inception, English only [I]barely[/I] won out as the official language, because the vast majority of the immigrants were German. And that's why we're an English speaking people living in counties with German names.[/QUOTE]
Where the hell do you get this? The United States does not have any official language, not even English.

My mom was harassed and insulted because she did not learn English and therefore deserved your suggested amount of harassment?
No, she just stuck with a group of other Chinese-Americans and assimilated with them. My mom was never harassed during her stay in San Francisco. I don't know where you're getting all this assumed hatred from.

i don't expect you to understand because you're intolerant!
it's not your land or your country, and if you think people that migrate to your country owe you something, you're very wrong
And because of this, anybody has the right to speak whatever the hell they're allowed to. U.S. doesn't have an official language.
:ninja: twice
Slight, how can you disagree with a fact?
We should really just lock this thread, it's getting nowhere besides people insulting each other.
I do give props to Jiyoon and Chilean for supporting the same side as I.

Leave it open, it gives us a good list of Cyber-Fascists and Xenophobes in Facepunch.

it's more like intolerant fascists with really stupid examples/analogies trying to tell us how dumb we are
They probably did know English, but decided not to use it so they would stop getting calls from telemarketers like you.

I do actually. I can tell them how they're supposed to run the country and how to respond and what to do when people cannot assimilate into 'American Society'.
Now please, your account has already been noted to have a fascist behind it. Now shush.
