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.

I’m sure that applies to all languages. Ironically I often struggle to express myself in my native language because I lack the finnish vocabulary for many on the words I use in english. Some words translate only into sentences and there often is no equivalance for many words in other languages.
