    “To prosper economically and to improve relations with other countries,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan declared in 2010, “Americans need to read, speak and understand other languages.” Unfortunately, Duncan pointed out, only 18% of Americans report speaking a language other than English, while 53% of Europeans (and increasing numbers in other parts of the world) can converse in a second language.

    Within this subset of multilinguals who are well-versed in a non-English language, 89% acquired these skills in the childhood home, compared with 7% citing school as their main setting for language acquisition.

    only 18% of Americans report speaking a language other than English, and from these 18%, 89% acquired these skills in the childhood home. So at home they don't speak english. Which results in 89% of 18% that speak a second language, or 16% of the 18% are not real Americans (mexican, puerto rican...). So the result is 98% don't speak a second language. And then we do not mention the level of English...

    Not real Americans? lol, Define "real American", and then look up what a "Native American" is.

    Not even going to dig into the rest of your bullsh*t logic.
