The government should make English courses free and immigrants should only be encouraged, not forced to learn basic English
@9PXL2XK 5mos5MO
No but free resources should be provided for a basic understanding of English but fluency shouldn’t be required
@9JL9HS710mos10MO
We should embrace the diversity that immigrants bring whilst also providing resources like free language courses
@9H4DZ4F1yr1Y
Embrace diversity in language but also teach English to make it easier and less stressful for all immigrants
@9GQXWS51yr1Y
I think we should encourage but not require and I think the citizen test having questions about traditions and customs is pointless, it should focus on laws and how to function in the country
@9GQ4C7V1yr1Y
I do not believe they should be required, but encouraged and provided with easy access to be able to learn.
@9GN8VZR1yr1Y
It should not be required but recommended as to let everyone have a universal language and method of communication
@8YPK9B4 1yr1Y
No but this should be strongly encouraged, and support provided for immigrants to learn English for free.
