27. The thing is, it's so much the other way around.
The Hispanic adults that I know who aren't fluent in English don't want to offend by misspeaking -- it would be majorly impolite. That limits their practice, right?
And, we just don't have enough ESL classes for the folks who have leftover energy from their jobs and family to study.
It's just sad to me that this whole "they refuse to learn English" thingy gets tossed around because I have very good friends who would do just about anything to learn the language. :(
