Lots of countries do. Canada, for one, uses both English and French and has lately adopted Inuit as the official languages in its northern province. Switzerland has three official languages, Swiss, German and French. Begium has a couple. Many of the African nations have more than one official language.

Maybe Switzerland can get along with multiple languages, but we cannot.\n\nThere is one important thing to remember about English:  next to Spanish, it is the easiest language in the world.  If you can't learn English, you have a severe learning disability.  Try learning a truly difficult language, like Chinese, Hungarian, or Czech.\n\nEvery document on which our nation was founded is written in English.  The language of international business is English.\n\nCan you imagine what a huge step backward it would be for significant portions of our population to be incapable of communicating in English?  Imagine how ridiculous we would appear in the eyes of the international community.  Little school children, from Rio de Janeiro to Bratislava learn English with ease.  We'd be the laughingstock of the world.\n\nI can just imagine the jokes:\n\n"Hey, what do you call someone in the U.S. who dresses well and speaks perfect English?  --- A tourist!"

It just depends on what you are thinking of doing with your future and where you are thinking of living.\n\nThey speak Spanish in Spain, most of South and Central America, Mexico, and much of the US although it is not the official language. This makes it one of the most useful languages in the world, probably coming third after Mandarin Chinese and English.\n\nThey speak French in France, Quebec, southern Belgium, part of Switzerland, and parts of Africa. Although countries like Cambodia and Laos used to be French colonies, very few people there speak French these days. French is no longer a particularly useful language.\n\nSo you need to decide where you are likely to live, work or visit in the future and with whom you are likely to want to communicate!

You could contact the Swiss Red Cross directly. Hopefully, you will be able to speak german, as the english section of the site is very limited.\n\nhttp://www.redcross.ch/org/jobs/index-de.php\n\nThe International Committee of the Red Cross also has some jobs available at its Geneva headquarters. \n\nhttp://www.icrc.org/Web/Eng/siteeng0.nsf/htmlall/jobs?OpenDocument

The Swiss have actually been neutral since 1600 at least. They alone in Europe did not pick a side in the 30-years War. This is porbably because the country has roots in several European countries, with 4 official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansch. This neutrality was recognized by the European powers at the end of the 30-years War as well as at the end of Napolean's empire.
