That sounds great! Then, When I call Sprint and Press 1 for English I won't end up talking to someone who speaks English worse than my dog.

Hope these people will be trained to talk proper English. I had an experience years ago when I went abroad and I got a hard time asking for directions because some local officers can't understand nor speak english.
