So shouldnāt all Americans speak (or at least learn) native American languages? You know, on the account that English isnāt native to America. Neither is Spanish for that matter. Nor French.

Serinus@lemmy.world āØ6ā© āØhoursā© agoDo you believe that anyone existing in America must speak English
Yeah, eventually. If Iām going to live in a country indefinitely, Iām going to try to learn their language. If Iām in France for more than a year, Iām going to try to learn French. Iād expect the same of friends and family. Itās not racist to expect people living in a place long term to be able to converse with the locals.
If theyāre working here for just a summer or two and spending most of the year in another country, no.
and only English?
No?

Weāre not talking about eventually or indefinitely weāre literally just talking about visiting a restaurant for a meal

Sorry, you asked a question that could have been seen as different from that context, so I was very explicit.
No, for just visiting you donāt need to learn the language. If you plan to stay long term, you should learn the local language.
