Well, not exactly true. Most Americans take a couple years of a 
foreign language in high school. The trouble is that since we
interface with so few folks that speak another language, we 
quickly forget whatever we learned. Only a small percentage of
Americans have ever been outside of North America. OTOH, 
Europeans interface with different peoples and languages 
constantly, so you get to use what you learn.
