that's what I'm saying, but they just talk to her in random foreign language instead of enforcing english

Well if she's not trying to get a job or do anything outside where it involves English then it's okay I guess.

The thing is that if you are from say, Peru, where they speak spanish, and come to live in my town, NYC, then almost half the population is hispanic and 3/4 of the rest speak it! I personally don't, but whatev!

we should help people to learn the language but I believe more and more people will learn it the longer they stay here as well. outright refusal to speak the language however is just plain silly. That's just being a dick.
