In the 80s, when I went to school, Americans knowing any language other than English was shocking. Nowadays, I've only met maybe three people under 25 who CAN'T also speak Spanish relatively fluently. I think Spanish has become our unofficial second language. I went out of my way to learn Spanish in college, and now they're teaching it to kindergarteners. I feel kinda ripped off. My daughter's elementary spanish class teaches more advanced Spanish language than my college courses I paid a good deal for.
