"I was scared," Pineda said through an interpreter in an interview last week. "I was trying to do what he wanted, but I didn't understand."Who make mistake? When I live in Germany, I work hard to learn German...so I not become some stupid foreigner. This silly...besides, why not have picture book to explain to illiterate idiots how it work? Besides, ignorance of language not excuse for breaking law, especially law of common sense.

Exactly. I lived in Argentina for 2 years. I learned Spanish. Fluently. Why wouldn't I? It came in handy when the police pulled me over for (stupidly) going wrong way on a one-way. Had I not been able to speak Spanish, I wouldn't have been able to bribe the cop and get away without a ticket.
