I agree to some degree. There are lots of dangerous drivers in the San Fernando Valley (where I live) who simply cannot READ that the sign says "STOP" or "Speed Limit 35".
There's no excuse to not learn the language native to the land you choose to inhabit. Most of us when traveling abroad find it fun and interesting to learn a bit of the French, Japanese, Italian, so on. We celebrate this difference in culture because we respect the difference. Not in our backyard, though.
"Nehmen ein stuch papier raus!" (All I recall from German class)
"Quando ero piccolo, leggevo i libri della favola. Un giorno, mentre guardavo un film, mi sono ricordato i buoni libri." (I suck at Italian)
