@dood111 saidImagine your an English speaker and you’ve had to drag your family out of Afghan or Iraq just to survive and you make it to the continent, where is your common sense going to tell you you’ve got the best chance of making a life for yourself. Imagine what being able to speak the local lingo does for your job prospects and your ability to negotiate the asylum seeking process.
