I need to form a sentence using se passive and subjunctive. It needs to have these words in this order:
ahora que/ país / convertirse / nación / bilingüe / comenzar / aparecer / gente / que / insistir qué / sólo / hablar / inglés

I have this so far. Does it make sense? And I feel like I'm using 'que' too much.
Ahora que el país se ha convertido un nación de bilingües, ha comenzado a aparacer que hay gente que insisten en que sólo hablen inglés

Good work. :)

Here are some hints for improvement:
Ahora que el país se ha convertido *** (There is a preposition missing here) un nación (Check gender agreement) de bilingües (This makes sense, but the adjective can refer to the nation itself too), ha comenzado a aparacer (Check spelling) que hay (This is superfluous; you can get rid of it) gente que insisten (Collective nouns like "gente", in Spanish go with verbs conjugated in singular) en que sólo hablen (This is not incorrect, since it introduces an impersonal "they", but if you know how to use the impersonal form with "se", it will sound better) inglés. (Never forget punctuation) ;)
