But that is precisely what they are trying to do at that school--learn English. English is learnt by immigrants but it does take time to learn a new language fluently. I don't see other languages posing that kind of a threat. That was once said often about German posing such a threat but it never happened and then, as now, there was no official language.

They might be there to learn it, but I am betting that most-to-all resort back to their native language as soon as they are out of there.

I see this crap everyday at work, I work where there are people from all nationalities and even after 5 years, they speak English like crap and you have a very hard time understanding them......It's all because we do not have a national language and the screw balled politicians won't vote one in.
