Learning languages in the usa.

What do you call a person who speaks three languages? – Trilingual.

Two languages? – Bilingual.

One language – American.

Americans have a reputation for being global illiterates; only one in ten can speak another language. That doesn’t stop millions of tourists, businessmen, diplomats and journalists from visiting and working in nearly every country in the world. Americans simply expect everyone else to know their language. Few Americans study foreign languages extensively and few American schools and universities ask them to.

The American predilection for English is hardly discouraged in the country’s schools. At least 20 per cent of the nation’s higher schools teach no foreign languages at all. Few schools teach languages to students under 12, when they can best learn another tongue. As a result fewer than 3 per cent of all higher school graduates achieve “meaningful” competence in a foreign language. But that is no bar to getting into the nation’s colleges: only 8 per cent have a foreign-language requirement. Some colleges permit students to take proficiency exams to demonstrate that they can speak a foreign language – to some degree – instead of enrolling in a language course. Students can – and often do – persuade health clinic psychiatrists to attest to their psychological inability to learn another language.

Not all Americans are monolingual, of course. There are many students who want to learn foreign languages. Some study Spanish, so they can understand the country’s growing population; others want to study the language of their immigrant ancestors.

Another reason for an interest in learning a foreign language is the tight job market. “If you have two qualified people applying for a job at an international firm and only one speaks a foreign language, it’s obvious who will be chosen”, says Blanche Hamilton, who runs the foreign-language program in Atlanta’s public schools.

Increased demand may result in more language courses. But the vast majority of Americans will probably remain monolingual for a long time.
