Compulsory? No but I’d think if enough people wanted jobs, they’d have to learn basic English to get along.

Just a poll question. I feel that people should have a working knowledge of English prior to taking a citizenship test. I’m aware the US has no official language. That’s all.

It’s common for first generation immigrants to have trouble with English. Their children will pick it up and their grandchildren will be native English speakers who probably have trouble communicating with their grandparents.

I had customers like that. We managed to understand each other

Before citizenship...no. Afterward an attempt should be made. If I moved to a foreign country I would not expect those citizens to speak English and if I wanted to communicate I would make an effort to learn the language.

When customers don’t speak English at the pharmacy there is an interpreter available that pharmacists can call. This should be a common service in retail.

1.) There is no official language in the US

2.) How do you know she had citizenship?

No but they should be encouraged to.

I know when I go to Spanish speaking countries there’s no signs in English and no one speaks it

No, because English isn’t the official language. If it was I’d say yes.

Yea dude it’s so annoying when people try to order and get mad when you don’t understand them. It’s not my fault you can’t speak the language of the country. I wouldn’t get mad if some guy in an Indian village didn’t know English why are you getting mad at me for not speaking Indian man wtf

Yes, as it is now, with the reasonable exception of the elderly, also as it is now. It is not a rule that needs changing.
