gilmore girlsWhile I was watching one of my favorite shows last night, the Gilmore Girls, I realized that while Rory was stumbling through a conversation in Spanish with the maid, Esperanza…there were no subtitles. This was a conversation that must have lasted at least one minute long.

Now it’s possible that they did not subtitle the conversation because it was not important to know what they were saying. But it’s also possible that we are now starting to see more obvious signs of an even more obvious trend.

Is the US getting to the point that it will just be expected thatthe general population has, at the very least, a basic level of Spanish? My opinion: If we’re not there today, we will be soon.
