If the chart included a narrative explanation of the various factors in every state, it'd be long enough that you wouldn't read it. At some point, you're responsible for your own context.

I mean, yes, this is a problem with sports generally (although the NBA is doing better than others). But in terms of whether it's "America's game", MLB has never had the viewership revenue that the NFL has right now.

Foreign language classes are required in Texas and Oklahoma for graduation. In my high school we had French and Spanish.

This is misleading.

I wish my two years of "programming" would have translated. VisualBasic is no joke, lol

ETA: My highschool offered Spanish, French, ASL, and Latin of all things

Why though? Should Chinese students learn Russian? They border each other...

Description / Comments:

A couple of years ago, I asked folks in the Georgia (U.S.) sub the following question. Were you taught in school about what happened i Forsyth County in 1912? Out of the replies I was able to get a clear answer on, only 11% of respondents learned anything about the racial cleansing.

Note: this is a small sample size. I don't know the demographics, counties, etc of respondents. It's should not be mistaken as a scientific and statistically significant survey. It's simply a question I posted to Reddit with a tabulation of responses. There were 144 responses, only 55 provided a direct enough answer to tabulate.

Surprise about Canada. I haven't seen anything made there apart from maple syrup.

Could I get some clarification on what "UN probe" means?

i had to take French in NJ. Idk how i passed.

The Blackhawks don't play every game in Chicago. No different than the NBA.

>The US didn't have an official language until recently - the 2000s.

As far as I know the US still does not have an official language.

Worlds second language?

Personally my comprehension is still decent and speaking is horrible. If you don't use it you lose it BUT after taking 7 years of Spanish classes I'm confident I could pick up a romance language pretty quickly if I had to.

I think for many schools it starts at first grade here in Germany bow, and there are kindergartens offering English too. By age 12 you typically pick a 2nd foreign language

Foreign language isnt required at other schools? Even my dogshit highschool had a requirement of 2 semesters foreign language study

Or do you mean the colour in the plot? That is just a random colour given to each cluster.

Ok. My point is that they should learn more since they border Mexico.

Information was taken from CPJ website (cpj.org), especially: Journalists imprisoned, journalists killed and UN Human Rights Council resolutions.

I live in Texas, and my high-school required two years of foreign language classes. It was a small school, so the only one offered was Spanish. I retained maybe ten words after that first summer, and the only reason I passed the second year was because of google translate.

I've heard that it's rare that an actual person even sees the application in the first round of elimination. They're filtered by an algorithm that looks for certain keywords. The old method of submitting a resume and application is basically like playing the lottery these days since you're just a piece of paper and there's nothing that makes you stand out. Your best bet is networking: find friends or friends of friends that work in the industry and get connected through them.

No idea why someone downvoted you. Given the incredible amount of native Spanish speakers it would make sense. And make travel in Central and South America better. Plus the benefits of simply being bilingual.

English is the 3rd most spoken language in the world.

The US didn't have an official language until recently - the 2000s.

There will be more Spanish speakers in the US than English by 2050.

It's easier to learn a language the younger you are. Age of acquisition was recently lowered to 10 after more studies were conducted. Learning a language after that age, especially as an adult, you will never develop true fluency.
