Three of my five children are fluent in Spanish as their second language. However, that being said, anyone who wishes to live and work in this country should become fluent in English. That is the language of this country. I have traveled extensively, and I have not been so arrogant as to expect countries to which I have traveled to cater to my lack of fluency in the language of that country. If I wish to travel, live, work, attend a university, etc., it is up to me to become fluent in the language of the country in which I am engaged. So it should also be in the USA. It cost the taxpayers much too much money to print forms in another language. If one is truly integrating into this country, speaking, writing, and reading English should be mandatory. I will not extend to others privileges that I do not expect to receive either. So, I will continue to market my practice in ENGLISH only even though my office is in an area heavily populated with those who speak Spanish. It has not been a problem for almost thirty-five years. And, by the way, my Spanish speaking abilities are very limited. It is a wonderful thing to speak a second language. Three of my five children are fluent in Spanish as their second language.
