A great article overall, but: "Try to get them to speak English! Seriously. It's quite an easy language." Really? This sounds like Paris Hilton saying "Poor people just need to get a job."
I'd say that if one invites non-english speaking friends, one should encourage them to strengthen the tag of their language, so that when more people of their country come along, they will find an active section in their own tongue.
The varied boilerplate of cultures is part of what makes Steem so interesting!
I agree! Why should try to also enlarge non-english communities.
