“The growing influx of immigrants into Americas heartland has local officials from Des Moines to Durham, N.C., sponsoring Spanish courses so government workers can speak to the people they serve.

These courses are all about constructive chitchat, as in: “Do you understand this form?” ¿Usted entiende esta forma?

Language courses for city employees, especially police, are common in areas with established Spanish-speaking populations. Tucson police, for example, earn extra pay if they become bilingual.”
