I agree with cheesesoda. I live in a French dominate part of Canada and am therefore forced to learn both English and French in school.

I've lived here all my life and even have friends who are French yet somehow I still manage to suck at learning it and this causes lots of problems for me.
Because I suck at French I tend to dislike the language, but I completely understand the reasons why I should try to speak it better and for the most part I am required to know the language if I intend to work full time.

Point of my little story being, although I suck at French I don't expect the government or anyone else to accommodate my needs and it is my own responsibility to try harder if I expect to get anywhere in life; I think the same should be said about anyone else who can't speak the dominate language of the location they reside in.
