All Russian Schools Must Teach English. All Western Schools Must Teach Russian
In our day and age, it is literally unthinkable for a person, ANY person, to only know their own Language - and none other. I mean, sure, if you're an ancient boomer, at his seventies or eighties, rotting along in your own tiny village somewhere and practically NEVER going anywhere else, but rather maintaining a first lockdown april 2020 level of anti-social distance, and has absolutely no interest in the World beyond the fields of your neighbours, then you might very well be okay speaking only your own Language, with the other away-wasting alte sachen at your immediate surrounding.
But, assuming you are not at stage alzheimer yet, you do need at least some manner of communication, with people of ethnic background other than your own (well, unless you're a hungarian, czech, latvian or, Gods Forbid!!, a [polak] blat, on which case you probably hate absolutely all foreigners anyway, and loyally vote for some fuckin' neo-nazi party blat). I mean - you would be travelling, right??? And, if your native Language is some tiniest local dialect, which is practically unknown to the rest of the Globe, like Zulu, Slovenian, Hebrew, or Khmer, you would wish to be able to converse at some World Language, such as English or Spanish or Russian, in order to be understood by... well, SOMEONE.
But if your native Language is such a World Language, spoken by hundreds of millions of people, and easily understood by hundreds of millions more... THEN you are fucking spoiled. You get the impression (especially at the mortifying case, that your country's entertainment media's used to vandalizing and butchering the soundtrack of all foreign TV Shows and movies, in order to inject into your brain the crackpot illusion, that "the entire fuckin' World speaks my Language already anyway!! He-He!!") that hey, there's no reason for me, to trouble my neurons with ever learning anything, since the entire fuckin' World speaks my Language already anyway!! He-He!!
And thus, your mind is FOREVER BLOCKED from getting to know ANY other Culture, except for what your country's ruling élite (wall street rich enemies of the People's media tycoons, the Pope, the Iranian ayyatollahs, Putin... whoever might hold the reigns, it doesn't really matter) decide that they WANT you to know.
As Language isn't just about knowing how to ask for directions in the street, or for your favourite food at a local Café. It is mostly about Culture. So, sure, everybody gets an exposure to american culture (well, such as there is, beyond "jesus!!" "santa!!" and mc'donalds). But What do most amewicans ever know about Russian Culture?
Either close to nothing, or ABSOLUTELY nothing.
Ask the average amewican, what do they know of Russia, and their response shall, most probably, be "commies mafia slutty mail brides stalin big bears snow PUTIN BAD!!!!"
Since that is, more or less, the entire fucking sum of "knowledge" that the true rulers of the wall street's westerreich want their dumbed-down SLAVES to know, about Russia and its AMAZING CULTURE.
I can go on and on, but the thing IS: If You want to be a civilized & viable human being, You owe it to Yourself to be able to converse at least in two different Languages, from two different realms of Culture (not just, for example, Spanish and Portuguese, German and Dutch, or Russian and Ukrainian. I am talking about two different Languages, from two different Cultural spheres) - and, needless to say: the MORE = the BETTER.
And, in dark of the current global SITUATION, AMERICANS AND RUSSIANS MUST BE STARTING TO LEARN EACH OTHER'S LANGUAGE AND CULTURE ASAP.
