I've always thought that if I were to move to another country that I'd want to make certain that I had a grasp on their language before I got there. It just seems like the common sense thing to do to help make things a bit easier for me to adapt to their culture.
The issue with calling a business for tech support or customer service and speaking with someone that speaks very broken English is a tough one for me. Having been a manager in a credit card call center it was of the utmost importance to me that the customers be able to understand what the representatives were saying to them. Very rarely would we have a primarily Spanish speaking rep working on the English speaking queue or an someone with a limited grasp of Spanish on that queue. That was simply to make the communication between customer and representative easier.
Interesting song though.
