People ...again.. immigrants aren't only MEXICAN.. when you going to get that through your thick heads!? DAMN! It's not that immigrants don't want to learn English. It's that it is hard to do so, and also they work so much that they don't have the time. ** I know a lot of immigrants, from everywhere, that have been here for years and still don't know English that well... but at least they can understand things!** OMG!

It’s not that immigrants don’t want to learn English. It’s that it is hard to do so, and also they work so much that they don’t have the time.

It is one of my biggest pet peeves! I work in a public library so I know there are a million resources to teach anyone how to speak English, and write English. There are also a ton of tutors who are willing to help people learn the language spoken here. Do you think if we were to move to their country they would be so tolerant! I commend those who make a effort to learn the language here, but like I said get annoyed with those who do not! You don't know how many times a day I hear "you speak a spanish/" I could AGREE more with you on this one! It is one of my biggest pet peeves!
