Well...it seems to have worked for you. :-)
We all know how much you love Switzerland. This isn't Switzerland, and I seem to recall pointing out the huge situational differences in another thread. I certainly don't wake up every morning wishing the US was more like Switzerland. Maybe you do...and if so you probably can guess what solution I'd propose.
I speak a somewhat limited amount of Spanish (not as well as you of course) and my French isn't as good as my Spanish. But what's culturally enriching is one thing, and what's good policy for the conduct of government is another. I don't think road signs would be improved by a law requiring they be printed in the five most popular languages. Or even two.
Knowing a second language is a wonderful thing...and I recommend it to all non-Anglophones who wish to become US citizens.
