Norwegian schools used to teach in Swedish and we used to teach in Norwegian in Norwegian/Swedish class. It was so that we would be more fluent in our neighbouring country's language.
And how many countries learn English?
@ Urial... Can you provide and facts on the number of people who major in Swedish? And how many schools offer that option?
I don't care to take the time...but I'll garuntee you it's more than the number of people outside the USA/Canada/England/Australia that understand Imperial(Which Imma need you to gather for me if were being smart ***). Honestly most Americans can't tell you every aspect of the imperial system. Yet even in situations like medicine...guess what's used? Metric
The US does need to convert it's simple. Bringing about how everyone talks has to learn English makes no sense when you say Americans don't need to convert. Honestly in any field where measurements cross borders the US has already switched and that starts in schools.
