Many Americans (and other westerners) actually already know how to use chopsticks if they eat at Asian restaurants very often. Almost all Asian restarants here offer you a choice of chopsticks or fork, and many enjoy learning how to use them for the fun of it.
Similarly, nearly all restaurants in Japan have a spoon and fork available if you ask, and if you look like a foreigner, they might bring you a fork even if you don't ask for it, on the assumption that you must not know how to use chopsticks.
