About United States

The United States is described here through a small set of public records. The lessons cover population data, languages spoken at home, government branches, the Constitution, World Heritage properties, historic-place records, food-service data, and paper currency.

Etiquette Tips

The Census Bureau reports that 22.3% of people age five and over spoke a language other than English at home in 2020-2024. Use this as a dated statistic, not as a guess about the language a particular person prefers. Ask and listen in a real conversation.
