I love the US, this is my country. My last name is Gimbert, that should tell you something of my ethnic origins. I know very little spoken French, but can read some. When my father's people came here they couldn't speak any English. The children were placed in the public school and it was sink or swim time. They swam, my father had agood white collar job with the government,which he served many years. Everyone in that family learned English. It's always been that way until recently,except for small isolated ethnic areas. France is fight for her life, give her a break!
