“Are you saying (awkwardly) that American workers are not bilingual?”
I haven’t met any over 30 that are; some of the younger ones are more familiar with Spanish, but it is very difficult to speak fluently enough for a job. A lot of Hispanics think I speak Spanish well; I thank them and point out that I wouldn’t be mistaken for a native.
Its not my job to speak their language, I am not the one moving to their country
