Check my other posts. My #2 son employs 60 people (at age 24). He does 90% of his business with Spanish speakers. His native tongue is English. I fully understand the need for multiple language capability. In addition to English, there are 10 other languages spoken by his employees. I listed some of them.

Frankly, I think we need to have more language programs in the elementary schools. The universe of choices should go beyond Spanish. Mandarin and Arabic are in demand, yet positions remain perpetually vacant. The problem with learning any language in school is maintaining proficiency. It is a perishable skill. My wife is weighing whether to take a couple semesters of Spanish or Shoshone. The latter would be valuable for her minor and there's plenty of people around here that speak Shoshone. There are far fewer that speak Spanish.

Your son should be hiring AMERICANS and LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. All of which speak English (it's part of the citizenship test).
