∙ 14y agoEnglish is spoken in the United States of America because the first non indigenous colonists were predominantly from Britain where the language was and is English. The declaration of Independence is written in English because that was the native language of the authors.

∙ 11y agoAmericans study English so we can learn how to better communicate. We study English grammar, spelling, and vocabulary so we can write and speak in a clear way. We study English literature, including American literature and British literature, so we can understand history, philosophy, and life in general.

How to learn English quickly and speak fluently?
The best thing is to start expanding your vocabulary. I would forget about grammar to start with. Grammar will come naturally after you start to read more and more.Learn words (written ones, and many of them).I would advice you to start with some children books or magazines like Donald Duck in English.Every time you come across a word you do not understand, then you look it up in a dictionary.This might be slow at start, but soon you know a lot of "easy" words.As you learn more words, you should increase the difficulty of what you are reading.The book(s) Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien is great entertainment and not actually very difficult English. Remember to use your dictionary on all the words you do not understand.Learning a language does take time. Shortcuts that work for one, does not always work for another. I personally did learn English mostly by reading magazines and books in English. This together with an Dictionary.I had an English teacher at school that once told me:Try using an English to English Dictionary. That way you will learn faster because you will start thinking about the English language in English.I started using the Oxford Advanced Dictionary Of Current English. This book explain English words by using other English words, hence you learn even more English whilst learning English.The language you learn from magazines (as in cartoons) and books is not the same as in real life. You learn a lot of words, but you will look funny when you talk and write using cartoon and book phrases.Buy a couple of updated newspapers in English. Read them. That type of English is quite advanced and sort of the English we all want to understand.For the speaking/talking part: Nothing is like actually watching a few films. It is great entertainment and... NO... you do not add subtitles in your own language. Subtitles in English is OK. Remember. You want to learn English.Be persistent. A minimum of 1 hour a day of reading exercise. The more you read, the more you start thinking in English, the easier the English language will become.When you start dreaming in English, then you have mastered the language.Why do you want to learn English if you are able to read and understand what I have written in my answer here. You seem to do a most splendid job already. Practice on the spoken English. By watching films without subtitles, your brain will open up for the spoken language. You will become better at understanding spoken English and at the same time you will hear your self how you sound when you speak English.Remember:Life is about having fun as well. If you get fed up with English, then have a break a few days. Play football. Go swimming. Think about something else.The most important thing is to make your self understood in the language. As long as you can do that, then nothing will be able to stop you from mastering the language with time.

Why didn't the immigrants in the 1900's have to learn English?
It is not accurate to say the immigrants did not have to learn English. In fact, most newcomers realized they would need to speak at least some English if they wanted to be successful in America; this was especially true for those who wanted to become citizens, which required passing a test that was given entirely in English. But the reality was that many immigrants, especially those from impoverished backgrounds, had little time to study; they immediately went to work in factories or in other menial jobs where English skills were not essential, and they worked hard to support their family. There were some who went to night school and tried their best to master their new language; and a small number came from upper-class backgrounds and already knew some English. For the most part, however, the majority of the immigrants were focused on having their children study hard and learn English well.
What kind of language did immigrants speak?
Immigrants spoke whatever language(s) they spoke in their place of origin unless and until they learned the primary languages of the place to which they had immigrated. Immigrants to the United States could learn English but arrived speaking English, Russian, Yiddish, Japanese, German, Italian, Romanian, Arabic, or any number of other languages. Immigrants to Brazil could learn Brazilian Portuguese but arrived speaking English Portuguese, Russian, Yiddish, Japanese, German, Italian, Romanian, Arabic, or any number of other languages.

Do English only laws serve the interests of immigrants?
No, they really don't, unless you consider a strong motivation to learn the language of the land an interest. You could certainly argue that it is. You have to consider also whether the interests of immigrants should come before the interests of citizens. There have been and will continue to be many, many immigrant populations in the US; most of those populations have not made strenuous attempts to avoid the learning of English. My grandmother was a non-English speaking immigrant to the US in the early 1900's. She learned English and made do. The Canadian French in Quebec are also protective of their native French, and I applaud them. We are a nation of immigrants, and it is not immigration that is the problem. If I moved to a country where the language is Polish, I would learn Polish, and I would make do, even if my Polish was not the best.
