The Coli's own @Stacker Pentercost: Should Black Children Be Bilingual?

[Luken]

So foreigners can come here and not even try to learn English but black american kids have to be multi-lingual?

Nah.

English and French are the world's business language. That's not changing anytime soon. If you know fluent English you really don't need to know another language.

Time of thinking that hinders progress, potential, opportunity and development

i took 4 years of spanish in high school and one in college, but if you don't use it you lose it.


i barely remember shyt.

I've literally never seen a scenario where being multi lingual has hurt yet it's a bunch nikkas in here treating it harder than the decision to send their kids to white overseen public schools

Threads like these are case studies on why nikkas will never win.

What languages do you speak?

I'm fluent in French, started Latin in Jr high, and classical Greek in ug. I've dabbled in Spanish and Italian, but not in school, just playing around. Like, I can sorta follow a newscaster without subtitles, but the man on the street in is clear as a bell.

Once i finish moving and settling in, I may dedicate some time to it. My man needs me to translate sometimes for his job.

Nobody better not come for my girl @Stacker Pentecost. Her homegirl might be one of those moisturize and seal everyday naturals, that oil be getting everywhere.

I'd rather my child be proficient in maths English science and IT before any second language

You've grown up in such a deficient school system that you think you cant do all of those things concurrently
