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.

Are romance languages not normal?

What does normal mean in this context? There are many different languages in the world. Romance languages are all pretty similar, as are Germanic languages. English is a mix of Germanic and romantic languages, and very similar to both. Thus learning any romance or any Germanic language is fairly easy for someone who knows English. It is much more difficult to learn a language from a different family.
