But still you wonder why people living in this country refuse so adamantly to learn the language of this country. Most Americans will learn more Spanish for a 2-week vacation in Mexico than Mexicans will learn of English in 10 years of living in the USA.

I would not go to a Mexican doctor in Mexico and expect them to speak English --- I would think it was up to me to learn their language.

I agree. The same with driver license exams, road signs, etc. Yet I've met any number of Americans abroad who are upset when they encounter locals who don't speak English.

I suspect some hispanics who come here don't learn English either because they don't have to or they have no intention of staying.
