One starts to greet the other in Arabic, the language of their native country, but the other Iraqi waves him away contemptuously and says, "We're in America now. Speak Spanish!"

Haha! Ain't it the truth?

Fastest growing language in the world

Sad, but true.

I had an eye-opening experience in 1998 when I did a summer course at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. Just about everyone around me spoke Spanish in ordinary conversation with one another - at the library, in class breaks, at the cafeteria, etc, but upon inquiry I found out they were permanent residents of the US or were citizens. I was amazed.

Has someone done research on whether Spanish will overtake English in the US?
