Why can't north americans learn spanish?
>>
>>221727391
I can speak a little bit of spanish if u want
>>
>>221727391
Why should I have to learn Spanish? I have no desire to visit Mexico, Latin America, or even Spain. Besides, I’m learning French instead.
>>
>>221727391
They should perfect their english first
>>
>>221727391
Because Spanish is a retarded language, I'm in Argentina right now and I can't understand a single word they say

The more time you spend learning another language is time spent not reading, learning languages can be just as anti-intellectual as so many people only do so just to sexpat or show off polyglot skills. The amount of information you have access to just by knowing English dwarfs every other language by leagues. The only time I've ever felt compelled to learn another language is if a book I want to read has no English translation.
>>
>>221734143
Exactly. Imagine if I asked you to learn Portuguese or Dutch. It has its benefits here, but we’re still given the option to learn French or German. Spanish isn’t a mandatory subject in American schools. Plus, English is ubiquitous and will not falter as the Lingua Franca for quite some time. I don’t know why we only get shit on for being dumb monolinguals when other anglos like Bongs and Aussies are just as monolingual.
>>
>>221734238
I like how people praise Japan for being monolingual yet shit on the US for it, despite their language being globally less useful.
>>
>>221734319
Personally, I don’t like the sound of Spanish. Maybe that’s because I’m surrounded by Mexicans. Idk. French just sounds much nicer in my opinion. Plus I travel to Quebec every now and then. There’s no where in Latin America I want to visit lol.

Unless you fucking live in Miami, you’re going to be hearing English 95% of the time
>>

Boludo.

>>221734143
In the case of the United States, they have tens of millions of people in their country who speak Spanish, like about 20% of the population.
They have entire industries that make their advertising in Spanish specifically to target Spanish-speakers.
There are countless businesses that hire preferentially English-Spanish bilinguals, or reward their bilingual employees.
At this point the Spanish-speaking population has reached the critical mass that many no longer even need to learn English to live, which means it's an untapped market unless you speak their language.

Literally the most useful language that you could learn if you live in the Americas, and also one of the world's easiest to learn.
>>
>>221734383
>Personally, I don’t like the sound of Spanish. Maybe that’s because I’m surrounded by Mexicans.
I could see that. They have a tendency to scream rather than speak.
>>
>>221734442
Weird, you'd think they'd be forced to learn English or at the very least pick it up through osmosis. It's not particularly hard to learn.
>>
>>221734383
Spanish feels to real. French feels better
>>
>>221727884
Because you live in Latin America now
It's only fair you submit to the new arrivals
>>
>>221734459
>>221734508
Unlike you guys, we don’t learn foreign languages until very late (some as late as high school). Unless you live in an area with a ton of hispanophones, you won’t be picking it up via osmosis. You’ll just be learning in class, just like how Finns are forced to learn Swedish. The ones who do learn a foreign language stick with it because they are interested in the culture or are dating someone from that culture
>>
>>221734508
This used to be the case. The US system used to assimilate and force them to learn English with economic incentives.
The problem is that during the Biden administration there were just too many that came over in so little time.
Literally over 20 million people in 4 years. So they can create their own small parallel economy where Spanish is a valuable skill and English is not so needed.
They still learn some English, enough to get by, but not at the high level required in the past.
>>
>>221734508
In the southwest increasingly they don't have to because they outnumber us.
>>
>>221734586
In the past immigrant's were forced to change their last names to anglo last names, whereas now no one cares we've completed given up on the idea that new arrivals need to even pretend to care abo the country they're immigrating to. It's fine we'll just segregate/balkanize
>>

You overestimate our education system. What we learn in school is beyond barebones. I'd venture to say most, if not all, of us beaners are self-taught.

This is a benefit not a drawback. They had me reading novels in the 2nd grade, like just after you learn to write. Then the reading just piles on and on and on, I wish they just did math drills instead because the vast majority of what you read never ends up being useful.

I literally learned English with Runescape, YouTube and 4chan. If it were only for public school I wouldn't know English today.
>>221734624
Peaceful balkanization is the best possible outcome you could hope for at this point.
Sadly, it's the least likely. The ruling class won't let states become independent without rivers of blood.
>>
>>221734707
I beg to differ. Literature might not seem overly useful until one gets to be a prick. Words like strumpet, philistine, sodomite or other such outdated insults are great for when you want to present yourself as a pompous prick.

Wait until you read turn of the 20th lit and you run into synonyms for common words that are just padding word count. Like sedulous, fastidious, or assiduous. It's fine to be pompous, but the only time I find this acceptable is if I'm reading a dated translation of a classic like Don Quixote. Even 17th century travelogues are easier to read than Joyce and that's with weird orthography and dated vocabulary.

Cope. Assimilation happened because these people immigrated in small enough numbers that it was possible to convert them into English speakers.
This time, due to their sheer numbers, is actually different. The US system can't assimilate this many people in one generation, and they're starting to get their education and services in Spanish too.

I'm not even gloating about it, I legit feel sad for Anglo-Americans, but you seriously need to get real.

Pretty sure those are still in common parlance, at least among Bongs. Others such as cromulent, perhaps less so as it isn't even getting picked by the autocorrect. Regardless, the only author I have ever found exceedingly "fluffy" is Lovecraft, likely due to his use of an overly verbose prose to try to hide the fact that he was utterly oblivious as to how normal human beings behave.

American libtards used to think just like you. That Hispanics are and will remain a cheap slave labor underclass forever. Which is simply not the case.
The reality is that even if at first they end up taking the shittiest, lowest paid jobs, they are gradually branching out into higher paid professions and displacing native workers.
First generation may be something very low class like unskilled construction, farm hand or whatever. Second generation might get into the trades, be a mechanic, plumber, electrician.
Many will decide to start their own companies instead of working for an Anglo Boomer and make enough to break into middle-upper class.
Third generation might start breaking into higher prestige occupations or expand the family business. Social mobility will increase with each generation.

>and we've cucked a bunch of them into voting republican kek
And the Republican Party is cucking the Anglo-Americans and starting to pander to Hispanic interests.

>I could argue that the feats of conquest and exploration of Spain are actually a much greater accomplishment
Could you? Every place Spaniards colonized is a backwards, impoverished shithole.
>>
>>221735211
It's even worse than that
>As of 2024, the Hispanic or Latino population in the United States reached approximately 68 million people, representing about 20% of the total U.S. population. This figure reflects a significant increase from 2020, when the population was estimated at 62.1 million, driven largely by immigration
>>
>>221735245
The great majority of places Anglos and French colonized also turned out to be shitholes.
For every nice first world country that's a result of their colonialism there's a dozen other places like Bangladesh, India or an African shithole country.
Many Latin American countries are safer than most major American cities. It's not like 20 years ago anymore. US cities are full of drug addict zombies, homeless tents, and the worst degeneracy imaginable.

Saying that they're better off or "richer" due to metrics like GDP is completely braindead.
It's like saying that they're "richer" because they print more money, own nothing, and have to earn & spend more money to survive.
>>221735280
Don't even bother, he's high as hell on MIGA-brand copium.

>>221735316
All places Spaniards colonized turned into shitholes and failed pseudocommie stares (much like Spain itself today). All of them. There are no exceptions. I'll concede France, but Britain spawned a handful of decent countries.
>>
>>221735316
>there's a dozen other places like Bangladesh, India or an African shithole country.
Those countries are full of indians and africans. Any empire could colonize those lands and they'd still be shitholes.
>Many Latin American countries are safer than most major American cities
We have our issues with homelessness in the U.S.A, but nowhere here is comparable to the stuff going on with cartels down in Latin America

The real blackpill is that Catholicism is the cause of Latin America being such a shithole
>>
>>221735391
Hardly. Spaniards only created extraction systems and built absolutely nothing of value. The ensuing demographic centers and unequal distribution of wealth coupled with nonexistent systems of governance ensured LATAM would forever remain a shithole. Consequentially, when the gravy train ended Spain went from a player of The Great Game to just another dysfunctional, impoverished, minor state.

We could have been Zoroastrians and it wouldn't undo the sheer mismanagement. Just look at Bavaria, they are Catholics and aren't this dysfunctional.
