Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?

Go on radio.garden and try to find foreign language music. My point is it’s wild how much English has become a common language worldwide, even if it’s not the first language

Do you guys not have any language classes in the public school system at all in the US? Not trying to be rude I just dont know how things work there

  We do, but like anything else you learn the basics and a few classes won’t make you fluent. You need immersion to get good and if you don’t use it you lose it.
  
  The people that use it are already in a multi language home and took the class because it’s super easy. Just about everyone else won’t use it at all outside of the classroom so everything they learn fades quickly
