I did three and a half years in both Berlin and Augsburg...and always had enough respect for my hosts to try to speak to them in their language.

Of course, my German was so bad that most of them would chuckle at me, then switch to English. Point is, that was their choice, not mine. My wife was the same way...that's part of the reason she feels the way she does now regarding Mexicans.

On my previou post. I meant my neighbors grandson speaks fluent English. He often translates for us.

Geez, a dike or a Mormon. What a choice.
Scary. It sounds as bad as an election in San Francisco between Willie Brown and Tom Ammiano (homosexual). No choice there, either.

Florida has a consititutional amendment making english the state language.

Does not seem to bother the miami cubans or the Palm Beach Brazilians.
