If you can please explain your thoughts? It's kind of hard to put into words. I understand English is a very difficult language to learn but I think in order to be successful in the US, it's important to be fluent in the spoken language. I don't think English should be the official language and I don't think we should have to change our lives because there are some people who refuse to learn English. But I also think it's important to expose children to other languages so they can be more well rounded as adults because you never know what career they may choose. It's been proven that it's easier to learn another language as a child rather than an adult.

I hope that helps
