Most Americans "i.e. people that live on the American continent" speak Spanish. Shouldn't the US also?

gisela m

Yes, ignore the reality of the challenges the United States is facing today is to keep in the same problem.
Ignore to hve neighbors is to keep blind of the issues.
THE ENGLISH MUST BE THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE AT THE UNITED STATES.
THE UNITED STATES MUST BE NAMED AS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BUT NOT NAMED AMERICA, BECAUSE NORTH AMERICA IS ALSO CANADA.
CENTRAL AMERICA IS MEXICO AND OTHERS.
SOUTH AMERICA IS COLOMBIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
THE POPULATION SPEAKING SPANISH IS THE MAJORITY IN AMERICA.

AT NORTHAMERICA IS ENGLISH.

LANGUAGES IN AMERICA ARE SPANISH, ENGLISH, FRENCH, PORTUGUEISE.

MEXICO IS NEIGHBOR TO THE UNITED STATES, AND THE DOOR TO THE SPANISH SPEAKING WORLD.

IGNORE THE HIGH LEVEL OF EDUCATION, MEDIUM, AND LOW LEVEL IN THE SPANISH SPEAKING WORLD IS TO IGNORE THE FACTS.

THE UNITED STATES USED THE CHEAP LABOR COMING FROM THE SPANISH SPEAKING WORLD, USED THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES, THEIR LAND FOR TO KEEP THE WELL BEING OF THEIR POPULATION AT THE UNITED STATES, TO IGNORE THAT IS TO KEEP YOURSELF OUT THE REALITY.

TO FACE THE BORDER ISSUES IS TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL THAT, YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE SITUATIONS IF YOU DO NOT COMMUNICATE AND TAKE AS A CHALLEGE TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEMS>

Border issues is to keep in the ignorance.

TO SUCCESS IS TO LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE AND HOW TO OVERCOME DIFFERENCES. TO BRIDGE DOORS OF COMMUNICATION.

Today's world eduction must include 3 languages:
ENGLISH, SPANISH, FRENCH.

HIGH SCHOOL LATIN AND GREEK, those are the mother of other languages and terminologies of huge specialities.

.
IN EUROPE THE PEOPLE SPEAK AT LEAST 3 LANGUAGES, same in ASIA.

To compete in markets must have other languages, at least 3.

THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE MUST BE THE ENGLISH AT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BUT THE EDUCATION MUST PREPARE THE PEOPLE IN HOW TO FACE THE CHALLENGES, AND IS TO AT LEAST SPEAK 2 MORE LANGUAGES.
AND UNDERSTAND FOR A LOT OF YEARS THE NATURAL RESOURCES WAS TAKEN FROM THOSE COUNTRIES AND PAID IN RETURN THE MINIMUN, BUT TODAY THERE ARE MONKEYS GETTING HUGE MONEY AND FINANCING OTHER MONKEYS TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES.
SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO FACE THE REALITY AND TO BRIDGE A WORLD OF INTEGRITY, HONESTY, RESPECT, AND TOLERANCE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES TO SOLVE, BUT THAT IS THE FIRST ONE.

The North American continent is made up of mainly English speaking peoples. So, get your facts right next time and stop trolling.

Yahoo Answer Angel

English is the language of money. Thats why almost every country that wants to be an international player also speaks English.

Now, why would we want to change to the language of poverty?

Jimmy J

If you don't know the difference between the North American continent and the South American continent, I feel sorry for you. Public school education? The North American continent is primarily English speaking.

Using your silly logic, the people in Europe should all learn Chinese since Asia and Europe are connected.

Pfo

We neither should nor shouldn't. What language(s) you speak is / are your choice. I doubt Spanish will ever be our national language, good luck with that.

RedWhite&Blue

Go back to Mexico and quit posting this non sense.

Sherilynne B

If you want to deal with Americans you will do it in English. We are NOT going to learn or even accept anything else.

chez006

Are you crazy, English is the 2nd Language to most other countries. Not spanish. Have you been on Mars.

LadyAmerican

I will never speak spanish because i have too. I will speak it if i want to and personally i don't

This is american and in many states English is our legal language. it is just not enforced.

Angelus2007

Considering out 300 million people have about 2 times the wealth of the other 700 million people I would say no. First off their won't be a union, secondly if there were it would be on our terms not theirs. Thirdly, each nation the EU speaks their native langage. If you hate english so much, pick a third world spanish speaking country and move there.

Ohsassyone

Absolutely not! Actually, the way things are going we probably all should learn Chinese.

Mark A

knock yourself out there Skippy.

I think "most" US AND Canadians citizens would disagree with you.

Yoda

What happened, had to rephrase your question because you didn't get the responses you wanted huh??

The answer is still NO!!

We don't care what languages other countries speak.

Do you think we should all learn Chinese because more people on earth speak Chinese than any other language on earth BY FAR?

Using your analogy, we should. How much Chinese do you know? Perhap YOU should get "on board"!!!!

Here's a listing of the ten most popular languages spoken worldwide, along with the approximate number of primary or first language speakers for that language.

1. Chinese (Mandarin) 1,075,000,000
2. English 514,000,000
3. Hindustani1 496,000,000
4. Spanish 425,000,000
5. Russian 275,000,000
6. Arabic 256,000,000
7. Bengali 215,000,000
8. Portuguese 194,000,000
9. Malay-Indonesian 176,000,000
10. French 129,000,000

P.S. America is NOT only one continent. Study your geography a little more.

bucksbowlbound

English is the national language of the United States, not Spanish. How about if we suggest the rest of the world be forced to learn the language of the most successful country! Wouldn't that be just as "fair"? Let's have everybody else "get on board" with that!

Chris

I see your point but language should not be forced on anyone. The United States economy is the strongest in the world and has made the international language for business English. Economically it is far better to be able to speak English than Spanish.

Anne

No, and if speaking Spanish is go great why do we have millions of Latin Americans wanting to come here both ilegally and llegally

larisa p

north america is a country based on english. most of canada speaks french, should we make the us speak french too? no! our founding fathers spoke english, they came from england! the rest of the american coutries were founded by spanish speakers so they can speak spanish. but dont change our country when it was based on what it is.

DAR

Those countries that don't seem to have a better quality of life. Who should be immitating whom?

Actually, it is two continents. I think we should be bilingual but choose our own language for the second language.

biwagirl20a

First of all you moron get your geogrophy correct:

THERE IS NO "AMERICAN CONTINENT"
There is North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica amd Africa.

Just because more people speak Greman in Europe should EVERYONE over there speak Greman?

You are a moron.

My mom always told me that there was no such thing as a stupid question, but then she had never seen Yahoo Answers.

Mark J

Which American Continent are you talking about? South or North? You are aware there are 2 American continents right? So let's assume you are talking about North America because you mention the USA. You seem to forget that Canada and Greenland are English speaking countries in North America. Or were you even aware that those countries existed? Do your kids a favor and don't have any kids.

summer

do u know what it sounds like your saying? it sounds like your talking about genocide. it is a criminal act to even talk like this. i have family who is in the FBI, i am going to ask him to get on here and read what you people are saying.

Froggy

Is this what they teach in "Propaganda 101"?

thefatkidsatonme

There are 7 continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. North America and South America are different continents in the same mass of American Continent, but there are different masses.

It really depends on how to divided, culturally for instance, Canada and USA would be in same cathegory and Latin America in different, geologically, or politically it could be divided in North America, Central America, and South America, for instance.

I doubt Spanish will be a National Language of this American Union youre forseeing, mainly because in every Spanish speaking continent, its spoken differently. As in accents and meanings of certain words. Theyre all very different culturally.

Though yes, maybe only 300 million have English as a Native tongue, way more people speak English as a second language. Also English is a more culturally spread language as a major provider of movies, music and technology, for instance. Where as Spanish isnt to such a big range. Because of that, English is also an easier language to learn than Spanish, and a more available one to learn in Schools throughout the world.

However, I personally believe its stupid for Americans in particular to not want to learn Spanish because of immigrants. Having a second language is an advantage, whatever it might be, like French, Cantonese, Spanish, and to be unwilling to do so because you were born in the United States and English is a native tongue, its just..well..stupid and a disadvantage.

At the same time, it might be hard for many Americans to learn Spanish when theres a lot of Americans who donÂ´t even speak English well.

babbie

There will always be a United States of America. We speak English.

Indigo

Why should we... It's a language that came over from Europe and attempted to establish itself as the main language just like English did.

Maybe we should have assimilated into local tribes and picked up their languages, huh?

emiller1998

You like Spanish then go to Mexico. Canada doesn't speak Spanish either.

satcomgrunt

No this country's founding fathers spoke ENGLISH, do not like it do not come here. Further since the US has more than half of the combined GDP and more than 75% of this continents military capability why does the rest of the continent learn to speak English. You are in checkmate

evil_streak_78

North America and South America are TWO different continents with several different languages spoken on both of them. I live in North America, in the United States. We speak English here, and have done so for a long time. People in Canada (part of North America) as far as I know mostly speak English and French, at least that's what I heard last time I was there. People in Mexico (part of North America) mostly speak Spanish, and have done so for quite some time as well. So that's only 1/3 of the continent speaking Spanish. You really need to learn some geography,

Razor Jim

Good luck with that one. Why do you feel the need to push the US to do anything? Jealous?
