And let me add that English is the international language of business. Worked international business for decades.

I speak English, no matter where, and am understood in Board Rooms to the street vendor. From sub-Saharan Africa to Europe to South America. . .no problem being understood.

Only in the US do the non-English speakers take pride in NOT speaking English.

Kelly AFB in San Antonio, visited the place, escorting reps from South Africa. . .met a 20-something female employee that did not speak a word of English. . .and her mother worked there for decades and didn’t speak a word of English, and the grandmother has been working there for decades and decades. . .not speaking a word of English.

No need to learn. Each work section had a GUY that ran the women and translated for then. The women were all data-entry techs so there was no need to learn the language. . .as long as they could recognize numbers.

Did NOT pick Kelly for depot repairs.

Guess what you need to get a job in Phoenix, Arizona.

You need to speak Spanish!
