Learn another language you retards.

I spent 3 years in public school taking Spanish courses, I didn't learn shit.  Passed the New York State Regents exam with an 84.  To this day, I still can't speak a coherent sentence in that language.

I hear elementary school is the time you should start learning a second language.  I had a roommate from Hungary in my freshman year of college, he said everyone was forced to learn English at a very young age.  He was almost fluent.

If Obama seriously wants our country to be bi-lingual, then the educational system is going to need a right kick in the ass.  Or Dora The Explorer should be made mandatory to watch at the age of 5.  One or the other.

I'd say that is more down to your "want" to learn. I studied Spanish for 2 years and I'm not exactly fluent but I know all the main necessities that I need to, and can hold a basic conversation in it.

I took my education very seriously when i was in Middle/High school.  For the first two years of Spanish I tried extremely hard.  I made a thousand flash cards and went over them each and every day (Not all of them every day, the ones that were specific to the chapter we were learning).  Despite all this, I would get a 70 I got on EVERY test, and when my teacher would speak I still couldn't understand most of what she was saying.  It was like a slap in the face because I tried.  By that age I was already so cemented into one language that learning another was like trying to climb mount everest without any gear.

Granted there will be a bunch of disillusioned pricks at that age that won't want to learn another language because it isn't cool or some shit, but you see what I'm getting at.

I know it summer in the US and we are in a Presidential campaign; more of this to follow from both candidates, but this will surly hurt him in the general election if he doesn't recall his" statement" here...

I liked him and even respected and trusted him a few months ago. He's shown to many things for me to consider him our next President. Mainly double talk, breaking campaign promises and IMO immaturity in directing our Country for 4 years.

Here's another example.

ill start learning spanish the day I start seeing signs reading in Kilometers Per Hour (werent we switching to the standard?)

any how, people tend to forget, most of the US was settled by Mexicans (before we drove them out during our epic coast to coast expansion) and Florida was settled by the Spanish

Obama is playing nice so he can get the minority votes anyways
