Do Americans learn Spanish when they move to Mexico?

Q: Is it really "Xenoglossophobia" that keeps them from wanting to learn another language, and is this the same reason they demand immigrants to learn Spanish in America? Do you think that the advertising companies complain about the extra work they get by creating more products in Spanish? http://www.language-learning-advisor.com/learn-spanish-why-americans-dont.html Learn Spanish: Why Americans Don't Xenoglossophobia : the fear of foreign languages. The plague that affects Americans more than anyone else. Diablo, Racist Claim? hmmmmm! Please read the article! FYI - last time I was in Mexico the locals where talking to me in English, maybe because they didn't think I knew Spanish. I went to the local resaurant.....and guess what? it was in English, and American beers were on the menu to...WOW! opinionsearcher, True! and great information by the way! but one thing is having to study and language in High School, and another is wanting to study and learn it as an adult when we have more choices on what we want to study or not? EDIT: "demand immigrants to learn English".

A: I totally agree! Pretty much everywhere else in the world folks speak more than one language, why not here? I actually know a couple who moved to Mexico for awhile who refused to learn Spanish, it was too much work. Then they had the nerve to complain when the locals couldn't understand English! Sheesh! "ron burgundy" when you learn to appropriately use English grammar and punctuation, please feel free to criticize others for not doing so. Until then, I suggest you attend a remedial English course!
