Why do I know 5 then apart from English??

It isn't that we're too lazy to learn other languages, it's just unnecessary in even the most diverse cities here.

But we can still talk behind their backs right in front of them.
*Damn, that big nose has got a fine rack!*
•Man I’d love to tickle the back of her incisors with my ding a ling!*
My slanty eyes also makes it hard to tell what I’m staring at.

Shout out to everyone posting and commenting in their second or third language!

We learned that from our parents, @uk

From an American: I remember when I was visiting Paris, France and our tour guide explained this to us (I was in High School at the time): "If we drive five hours in that direction, we are speaking Spanish. If we drive about 5 hours in that direction, we are speaking Italian. A few hours in that direction, we are speaking German. A few hours north and we are speaking English. This is why Europeans generally speak so many languages."
Meanwhile, back in the states, If I am standing in the center of the lower 48, I can drive at least 2 days in any direction, and we are still in the US. Depending on the direction, I can probably drive a lot longer than that.
The reality is that most Americans get along just fine speaking only one language: for most of us, it just doesn't come up.

DO YOU SPEAK AMERICAN? DO YOU!?
