@onstageagain

we r an american if they are born here in Usa, or become a citizen.

My family comes from parts of Mexico, Spain, and France and I call myself an American because I am one and am proud:)

Besides Usa has lots of room for many languages. and our brain has a ton of space to learn languages. the tops are english(of course), spanish, and asian languages. so those r super useful to know here.

[ddddffffification]

Because bilingual people have brain's section for each language separatedly, language like Japanese which has a lot of imported words confuses their brain.

im bilingual

[gottsein234]

warum kein deutsch! spanish ist langweilig...

[grekito]

@gottsein234 No Asshole Spanish Is Awesome and Fun

[gottsein234]

@grekito well i was joking but i dont care much for the spanish language i might learn it one day but i prefer german but german isnt useful due to most german's speak english as well UNLIKE SPANISH PEOPLE WHO FLOOD OUR COUNTRY AND DONT GIVE A SECOUND TO LEARN ANY ENGLISH AT ALL lol thats me joking as well i dont care if they dont learn english i enjoy all languages and culture other than korean's =P

[grekito]

@gottsein234 I love the German language, And for your Information most spanish people know english, If you're German, I have met a lot of your country man and many speak spanish, And people who only know english are too ignorant or too stupid to learn a second language, And in This American Continent Spanish is The Language most spoken... If I lived in Europe I would know Spanish, English, German, French and Italian.. Ich Liebe Dich Amerika

[gottsein234]

@grekito na im not german or at lest in the sense i wasnt born there my granddad was he was too young to remember anything was adopted by an american family but ive been learning german by myself for i guess 2 years now mostly through music but i learned words/phrases in other langauge mostly russian, spanish and korean und ich liebe euch auch mexico? oder süd amerika lol te quiero puta!

[grekito]

Thanks for this, as a mother raising 2 children in 3 languages, its good to see the definite it brings and keep going when the going gets tough!

[Pino4649]

I wish they had this when I was in school in the U.S. I got bullied by class mates and was labeled as retarded by the teachers because I spoke another language. Seeing these immersion & bilingual schools give me hope that racist "you can only speak one language" mentality is losing ground. I'm a polyglot now and if I ever have kids I plan to expose them to as many languages as possible. If they want to focus on a certain one or two that's their choice.

[HerrSpieldose]

if I have kids, I will only speak German to them if I stay in the US... having a grandma who only spoke German to me my whole life was the way I was bilingual and I have always just naturally understood German like we Americans understand English so it is pretty simple...

[grekito]

@HerrSpieldose Das ist gut

[Demingosan]

from where im from in texas, its a somewhat small town, but here and towns surrounded, being bilingual is discouraged big time, i remember back in middle school and junior high, time after time the teachers would tell us not to speak other languages and only speak in english only

[veritasgdl]

wow this is amazing, this type of education really reflects our current global world in we are living...also I have read that until 8 years old children are able to learn up to 8 languages!!

[ckeds]

the principal's surname should be A B C D ;-)

[akumie]

"there is warmth in mexican cultur", native americans have so much more unique cultur

if more learn native american languages maybe for once we can promot native cultur

[xSharktastic]

@akumie You do realize Spanish is not a native american language.

[akumie]

@xSharktastic you dont say

I am saying in USA native american language should be promoted first and then spanish, dont care if 12%+ speak spanish in USA because for me mexicans no matter how many they are will never be typical american

Ilice in Sweden and its ok we have english as second language but I think instead of forcing people in school to choose spanish, german or french we should have only sami language

[TheTravisChannel]

This is a possibility why bi-lingual education is hard to get through.

If we in the US started doing it right now with spanish as a second language for example. 20 years from now, people who are bi lingual will be able to get a job easily which will displace many people even with the best work experience. just a theory

[CheckAttitude]

I speak English and French, I'm immersed in English so it's hard to learn French but I can converse with it pretty easily. I'm learning Spanish too. :D

[minghan05]

You need to have interest in a language in order to learn it well, regardless of the degree of difficulty of the language. It helps that a child starts learning 2 languages at the same time from the age of five, it will be easier as the brain is very absorptive at that age. But it's very possible to acquire a new language as an adult. As a child in Singapore, my 2 first languages in schools were Chinese and English. In secondary school, I picked up a 3rd language, Japanese and later, french/ger

[reevaluate2008]

lol

[grekito]

Brilliant! This is how education should be

[danielledillenburg]

I'm brazilian, and my first language is Portuguese, but I speak English, Spanish and French as well. And I'm fifteen.

I love learning languages, it's one of the best ways to learn culture and be like 'international'.

[akumie]

I spoke english, wedish, spanish and some french by the time I was 15..not I am trying to learn japanse but very hard

[HammockTimeNow]

I totally agree

[cornrowedlowe]

Do they give them any English instruction?

[miguelcotto4ever]

i speak spanish and english. I learned a good amount of indonesian and japanese too. however being bilingual is not all its cut out to be. i mean its nice to have a cultural understanding of the language, but when it comes to languages chinese, and the middle eastern languages are the only languages worth learning. othere than those regions, the whole rest of the world speaks english! learn math or science instead!

[gata40]

This is precisely what we as a nation should be offering our children!

[toocaran]

Whooaaa, i wish i had this opportunity as a kid. Awesome

[renoxuken]

@toocaran

If you can post on here then you still have that opportunity. You don't need a school or a teacher to create an immersion environment and become fluent in a language, you can do it in your own home. In today's age we have access to resources from all over the world. Just order a ton of native resources (books, movies, music, etc.; which don't need to be educational at all)online. Take the founder of AJATT for example. He became fluent in Japanese in 18 months and was 21when he started

[m45n45]

hahahahaha

[becca637]

im using this for a school project

[2Patricia1]

im msybe using this for my school project

[bigbuggie5]

I would like to put my children in a japanese language immersion program but there aren't any around here.

[teerex87]

This really isn't bilingual education since it is immersion education. Bilingual education is where you use two languages, hence bi! Great video and looks like a good program, though!

[nacaranda09]

americans think the world revolves around them.... I live in Europe and Modern Foreign Languages is compulsory stating in Elementary School..... Spanish, Chinese, French, Arabic, etc...

[FireNationDeathWish]

When I was in Elementary school, the retarded school administration didn't give us the opportunity to learn foreign languages, we had to wait until middle school (when it's too late to learn languages effectively) to learn another lauguage, while in nations such as Germany, Japan and China, ext English is a regular class in those countries

[bigbuggie5]

although it is harder, it is never too late to learn.

[mathstitch]

My parents put me in a dutch school (i live in belgium and dutch is the second official language here) and i can speak two languages now. It's great!

[THEspootnick]

@mathstitch looks like you´re talking 3 languages to me ;)

[LeahMichelle03]

It's not too late for a 6- and 8-year-old to learn another language at all!

[gio281287]

hello we are talking about americans isn't easy learn another language if you are american

[mcmlxvi]

Because they are too stupid, right?. Even if they learn a second language while they're little by the time they're 16 they're too stupid to remember anything.

[ashy4shiz]

i am american and i speak english, spanish, french, and italian fluently, and i speak some german and some russian, and a tiny bit of chinese so why dont you speak for youself

[mcmlxvi]

my ass you do.
