Ummm, in your experience, doesn't it happen a lot? I know a lot of monolingual people...
It happens when you only learn one language. No mystery there.
But the nice thing about monolinguality is that it's completely curable...
Best,

In Latin America, I think the tendency is that learning Spanish will open more doors. In Asia, that's just not the case. You're an outsider and you always will be. |
