Learn The Local Language

Americans have a bad reputation for believing that everyone, everywhere should speak English. As with any stereotype it's simply not true. However, it is true just often enough that people around the world often start with the assumption that most Americans are self-centered (if not downright rude) and loud! The loud part comes from the odd notion that speaking louder and/or slower will magically overcome a language barrier, lol.

Why learn the language?
