Should immigrants be required to speak their new country's language fluently?

[mce]

Do you agree that countries should require immigrants to speak the local language FLUENTLY before letting the immigrants in?

Would you be an insensitive and uncompassionate racist for such a requirement?

[MiamiBoyz]

I would not care what they speak as long as they are NOT muslim.

[CurrentlySober]

Language is not a race

I don't care what language they speak when entering Canada.

As long as it's English.

I live in CZ for 10 years but don't speak Czech. But I paid a couple millions Czech crowns in taxes.

[blackmonsters]

Yes, people in America should leave if they can't speak Navaho or Cherokee.

This question is only asked by bigots who invaded other areas and don't speak the native language themselves.

Otherwise regarded as the retarded recipients of national equalization payments (aka 'welfare').

[ITraffic]

most people in the united states and canada can only speak and write their own language at barely literate levels themselves.

couple esl classes and they will fit right in.

I know this. And it is flooded with arabs. Trust me he is arab. I can tell by the way his small brain works.

[ErectMedia]

Yes
Not so much for talking to them but so they can read all the traffic signs and not just memorize Stop.

[rayadp05]

I believe they should most definitely learn the language. However, putting the requirement aside ...you would think they would WANT to learn the language. Hell, I know that I would not want to relocate to some foreign country without learning the language. I mean, can you imagine me living in Germany (for example) and not knowing anything but English and trying to schedule shoots? So yeah, for me personally, I would actually want to learn the language. Otherwise, it would really suck trying to communicate with people.

You've paid around 8k$ a year for 10 years? Nice! Is the banking system stable? If you have a payment processor, what is the process to have deposits there?

[Rob]

Speak any language you want, but don't get pissed when you can't complete a transaction because the other person doesn't speak your language. If you want to assimilate, learn the language. If not, and you want to have a social circle made up of your natural language speakers, that's fine. Just don't expect the locals to learn your language, or get upset when they can't understand you.

1,000,000 = 39,000 USD (I think)

I see no reason why it matters what language they speak. It only helps them to know the language. I wouldn't want to move to Italy and not learn Italian.

I agree with you about the non English signs. It's ALL over.
Something has to be done.

[Rochard]

I believe immigrants should be required to learn the language of their new home country.

My step father came from Belgium, and barely spoke a word of English. He's told me more than once that not speaking fluent English has hindered him on multiple levels. It was difficult for him to get a job, and when he did get a job it was difficult for him to advance due to language barriers.

Just makes sense to me. If I was to move to Mexico, I would learn how to speak Spanish.

I always thought he was an immigrant or refugee from Palestine that ended up in Queefbeq.

You can't speak ANY czech at all? How do you manage stuff like calling a plumber, accounting, gov't shit, etc?

here in CZ more and more people speak English but in general I agree completely with what you say

I do speak some basics, mostly enough for restaurants and supermarkets. But I have employees that I can take with me for translation, an English speaking accountant and quite a few Czech and Slovak friends that speak either English or German.

I only blame myself for not learning more and since I do not see myself moving away from here, I will tackle this issue someday

[Paul Markham]

NO!!!

They should be able to prove they won't need the citizens of their new home to subsidise them. They should add to the wealth of their new home, by employing a PA who speaks both languages.

Have no idea how I came to that conclusion. LOL

Start learning Arab. You like them anyway, should not be hard to learn it.

[Manfap]

There's 1/4 million Brits in Spain who cant speak Spanish.
Should they be forced to learn as well?

Wow! I know a guy in Brazil like that. Why would you not just spend a few minutes a day studying and have it in a few months. You can't be that dumb as to not be able to learn it.

As long as they don't stone their females, force sharia law, moan about allah and were not involved in terrorist operations, they shouldn't.

i like nice people and I dislike idiots - next time we meet please just ignore me, ok?

Cause for some reason people like you never have the balls to talk to me like that in person and it saves both of us time - me talking to an idiot and you can hang out with your racist buddies and jerk each other off

Yeah. Seriously, WTF? Why would you not learn the language?

We never met, you got something wrong, probably because of too much Quran reading.
Maybe reason why people don 't talk to you is because you have problems with language, as you told above.

What is is also interesting (except your absolute support for the muslims)is that you mentioned balls and jerking off from no obvious reason.I wonder why.

Google translate is okay for European languages. I've been using it for Chinese (Mandarin) recently... Needs work.

[Paul&John]

Maybe it should be required in case they want social benefits (welfare etc.). If they come in and bring an already established business/revenue, then not..

You should make sure that your natural born citizens can speak the language first! I swear to god that at least 40% of people born here can't speak proper English!

[klinton]

have you ever tried to learn czech ?
its not that easy language , you know, if you are not from slavic country
+ why would anyone want to learn language that is spoken maybe by 15 milions of people in total is out of my imagination....
I may understand learning English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese or even French, German, or Russian...but Czech ?

wish the citizens of north america could be so motivated to do so as well in between playing on their smart phones, complaining on the internet and smoking meth and abusing pills.

just be tolerant...no foreigner speaks our language but it does not stop me from being nice to them...I have 2 foreign friends who live here in serbia one is from hungary the other from france, the french guy knows a word or two of serbian the hungarian guy does not know a word LOL...they are both great guys, I do not mind one bit...actually it never crossed my mind to think that they have some sort of obligation to learn my language...

we have a hungarian minority in the south, they speak hungarian...I went to a shop there and the lady did not know serbian, she made me a nice sandwich and we communicated with hand signals...

Wherever I am from or whatever my origins are , I know that I am quite OK, as not being a lazy thief ukranian .... that would require suicide ....

FYI, my family tree dates back the departures of Normands from Honfleur . Visited the place , was very intresting ... but no McDo , so no interest to you .
