Dear Inna, I am really confused by your linquistic toughts.
If the most Americans speak no foreign languages how can
they 'often speak (in) different languages'? Do you mean
Mexicans, Chinese, Russian, etc. who live in America?
BTW I assume that they also share in this remarcable 'status' of being Americans.
What is the point of the fact, if it is a fact, that 'quite
a few ...speak at least three foreign languages'? Why three
and why at least? Why should they anyway when English is the dominant language in the whole world?
I know some Americans who live in Holland for more then
10 years but are not able to construct one decent sentence in Dutch. In Holland, you know, even kids speak English.
Regards,
