Cool, I'd make more money then. My English skills would be in higher demand.

Learn Spanish.


What do you want me to do, cry about it? If I don't know the prevailing language, then I better learn it. If I don't, then it's going to be completely my fault if I can't function well enough in society to be self supporting.

Why bother. Every thing seems to be coming in Spanish & English now.

Not worry about it. Pretty soon, if not already, our phones can do real-time translating from any language to any other.

Language is so 20th Century.

I already speak enough Spanish to get by, but if it became the primary language, I'd make the effort to become more fluent.

There are large parts pf this country where everything is bilingual already.
