What's driving the need to move things off .world?
It's embarrassing and kind of pathetic that most people from the U.S. can only speak one language. The U.S. education system sucks and foreign language learning should be mandatory for everyone.
My wife is a LOTE teacher (language other than English) at one if the introductory grade levels where it is mandatory and one of the biggest problems is that the kids don't want to learn. And this is in a community where the language she teaches is spoken by a significant minority of residents. She also teaches special classes to kids who speak the language at home but need instruction in literacy.
Teachers in the district have had parents tell them that they are wasting money because everyone in 'murica should speak English.
