Hello from the Northwest Arkansas Ozark Mountains,
I think I can give you a concrete solution that would be helpful to our English speaking language of the illegal immigrants:
there are a huge number of radio stations who are all over this nation with LATINO music.the illegal workers tell us that they are soooo busy working 2 or 3 jobs that they CANNOT attend classes to learn to speak English.the radio stations are on the air 24 hours, 7 days per week and they they play music and give announcements of all kinds.because these radio stations are ON OUR AIR, courtesy of our networks. there should be an equal amount of time interpreting the music and announcements in E N G L I S H ... which would help the Latino speakers to hear the same message repeated in English and Spanish. This would be a great way for us English speakers to learn Spanish all at the same time.There would be no charge, but there should be an obligation for any radio to be promoting the language of the country in which they are located.
