i find it hard to believe that spanish isn't taught as a second language from a very early age, at least in many places in the united states. in canada we take french since grade 1 i think, and there are many elementary schools that offer french immersion programs (and i live nowhere near quebec). i realize that spanish isn't an official second language of the united states but it obviously permeates society in almost every part of the united states

I see your point. For the record, I'm French, and while I think we are the worst when it comes to learning and speaking foreign languages, I'm always amazed to see how other European countries have succeeded where we failed. Especially Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, and the whole Scandinavia.
And then there's USA, where I live now, and where no foreign language is taught in school before 15.
A long way to go...

@turnover7 Sure thing, he speaks another language, I'll give him that. But as a fellow Dutchman, I'm embarrassed. A lot of people here speak better English than he does, so it stands out when someone has an accent as huge as his.

Who cares about his accent? This guy speaks another language, give him that. He probably speaks another foreign language on top of English.
He speaks at least one foreign language, that's more than most American people do.
