My point was not that Americans should not try to speak foreign
languages, nor that they should not speak at all.  It's just that
the American (ok, regional) accent that one is accustomed to can
sound mighty strange after a little isolation in a foreign country.
Only then can you appreciate its unique character--quack, quack.
