I live in Texas. I have the same problem the Japanese do. Its 'Murica, why do I need to learn Spanish? Though, most places now a days have at least one bi-lingual worker present all the time. It's even worse when I go to my grandma's out in the country where illegal workers are greater because of the fields and plants. I can learn Spanish, I know basics, but it's the fact that I have to learn it to is the problem.
