Why Don't immigrants Learn English?

[snagga]

Its a shame they all want to live and work here, but can't speak a word of english.

I know a few living here for over 15 years, and still can't speak english. Whats that all about?

Everybody who want to live and work abroad should at least make the effort to speak the language of the country and to integrate them self!

[oldeno]

Yes,I agree.At least learn to say some of these words :
Hello how do you do ?
Hey! what's up doc?
Yo! what's happening?
Hey lady! you look gorgeous!!
Ooo..what a handsome man....
It's cool, man.
Etc....
Then nobody's going to say you don't speak English..haha

I am just telling it how I see it m8. if you can't handle the heat, then stay out of the kitchen.

When I go other countries on holiday, I do try to speak their language. But I think its a digrace to live and work in a foreign country, and after several years you still can't even say hello in thier langauge.

dont know hold old you are, but i got taught french and latin at school . latin may be a "dead" language, but it helps a lot to understand "english"! pity more schools dont do latin now!!!!

I think everybody should learn a new language maybe not the old people but at least the new generation!
So far English is the international language but I don't think it will be for long!!!

and why not the "the old people" ?.....
