I am implying that losing a world war and subsequent occupation to English speaking nations has a residual lasting effect
Likewise had it gone the other way there would certainly be more Americans with German as a second language
Education isn’t particularly relevant in this situation
Even my tiny rural American school offered French, German, and Spanish
If they choose,. most choose to learn Spanish or French since those are the languages we are likely to encounter on either border. Very few Americans speak German because how infrequently we encounter anyone who does here.
Though, even more choose not to learn a foreign language at all
Go for a walk, be mindful of your surroundings
That’ll be $300
