Most Americans are bilingual. The average stereotypical white person, isn't. But the average stereotypical white person isn't that common anymore. Even a lot of Rednecks know a second language (except for the stereotypical southern redneck wannabe, which is a dying breed).Originally Posted by Groteske
Well I didn't know that!Where in America do you live? Or NA? Or wherever?
Eh I want to learn Mandarin and Japanese but I don't even really want to visit either nation. I wish more Americans were bilingual.
A lot of Americans either speak Spanish or French. There's other languages, too. Chances are if you come form a Mexican/Spanish background, you'll speak Spanish, and a large portion of Americans do.
Also, Americans speak a very unique version of English. A lot of the words you use aren't actually English in origin, though a lot of them have been adopted into "American"(this isn't just USA, but includes English in all of the American continents) English. Also the spelling in "American" English usually quite different than normal/British/UK English. Which is why there are literally two different ways of being taught English.
Often if you learn English in a foreign country through a class or book, it'll specify which kind of English it is.
Give us a couple hundred more years and we'll have evolved English into our own unique language ;D More or less, anyways.
TL;DR: Most Americans ARE bilingual, they just don't speak the languages you wish they did.
I would say it's mostly Russian. But because not many gamers speak Dutch, so it isn't very profitable to make games in Dutch. Though there ARE games that offer Dutch (usually singleplayer games) versions, or that have player-made mods that translate everything into Dutch.Looking around, there doesn't seem to be many dutch versions of games. Mostly only german. I wonder why that is?
