When I first moved out on my own, I had a room mate from Beirut, Lebanon, here on a refugee Visa. Took him YEARS to get his citizenship.
He came home from work one day super frustrated.
"Do you know any Spanish?"
"No, but what do you want to say? Maybe we can figure it out?"
(this was DECADES before Google Translate or DuoLingo)
"I want to say 'Get off your lazy ass and get back to work!'"
"Well, I don't care WHAT the State Department says, you are now officially an American! Congratulations! Let me get you a flag!"
