I think USian communists are at a disadvantage, given how little foreign languages are taught in our schools. Not that it's an excuse, but it does mean finding free time on our own as adults (a less ideal time for learning languages) while working to support ourselves.
I hope to at least eventually brush up on the ones I learned in school. Learning Mandarin would be really useful, but I don't know when I'd find the time if I'm being honest with myself.
Yep, schooling really does put things at a disadvantage, but it's a practical pursuit nonetheless!
