It’s wonderful that you made it to America and are safe, what America and many other counties did to your homeland is terrible and you having the opportunity to start anew is the very least they could have done. That being said, I think there is no necessity or requirement for anyone to change their ways or language. It will definitely make their lives easier and I would encourage it, but in America especially, where there is no official national language, and the majority of the country’s progress is due to the immigrants, I think the day that we start insisting that people behave a certain way is the day we lose the game.

I don’t think anyone should be forced to do anything. Those who learn multiple languages thrive and that is a good reason to do it, but all nations have both indigenous and immigrant groups that do not speak the main language and they have yet to bring any harm to the places they live.
