What Annoys Me The Most About Some Bilingual People

[Stacyzee]

There's no doubt it is a great advantage to be able to speak more than one language.

You are able to communicate and connect with that much more people.

However, as someone who is only familiar with her native language, I am quickly deterred by some of the actions I see those who are bilingual do.

They come across as rude

Switching from one language to another in conversation.

Out of the many examples I can give, I will share one with you.

There was this one time me and these two other young women were walking off of our College campus. They were African girls from the same country. We were all laughing and speaking to each other in English. Before I knew it they started speaking in their language together. The five minutes that I stayed walking with them felt even longer. I felt as if I were an alien. I was being excluded. I waved my hand in the air and said "See you in class tomorrow" and left.

After class, they always asked me to wait for them. When they did, I acted as if I had to immediately leave. I never wanted to feel as awkward as I did that day.

Of course as mentioned before, that wasn't the first occasion where a similar encounter took place.

I find it completely rude for people to switch from one language to another, in front of someone they know that doesn't speak or understand it.

Depending on the vibe I feel, I get a sense that I am being spoken about. Sometimes you can just feel in the air when there is negativity floating around.

Of course, I don't jump to any conclusions until my suspicions are confirmed.

They are more friendly towards their own

Friendly smiles and greetings.

There was this time I went to a supermarket close to where I live. I was familiar with the cashier because it wasn't the first time she dealt with me as a customer. I observed that she would smile and greet anyone who appeared to be Spanish and start speaking to them in her language as she rang up and bagged their items. I am American and being so, she didn't greet me at all. She rang me up and before I knew it, I was out of the store. I observed her giving the same treatment to other customers who were not Spanish.

Lets just give this woman the benefit of the doubt, lets say she knew her language far better than English. I am not saying to carry on a conversation with me as she did with others, but at least give me a friendly greeting "Hello", or "Have a great day!"

The same scenarios played itself out with other ethnic groups I have encountered throughout life, several times on different occasions.

The receptionist at the medical center I went to was Russian and seemed to only speak to those who were. The people that were not, she spoke to them harshly and in a dismissive tone. She didn't try to hide her attitude either, it was blatantly obvious she had a disdain against those who didn't share her cultural background and language.

I am a person that likes to treat every one the same.
I am also someone who takes into account how the actions I exhibit may be interpreted by someone else.

Perhaps, some of these bilingual people may operate this way subconsciously (without intending to cause harm), while others may do it because they are discriminatory towards those who are not their own.

Whatever the reason is, the affect still weighs the same because there is no taking away what comes across as rude.

Especially at your work, you go over there to do something and when your leaving they start talking in the other language and one starts laughing while the other gets wide eyed like they said something messed up, then he looks over at you and stares.

Or when your working right next to each other and you mess up, theyll say "its okay" but then excitedly turn to their Spanish coworker and speak Spanish , yell out your name, speak more Spanish, then yell "FIRE ME!!" Then bust out laughing.

I know Spanish speakers who dont look like they speak Spanish and they always complain their coworkers talk shit about them in Spanish right in front of them. The look on their face is priceless when they realize they can speak Spanish too.

Or your in a conversation and right after you talk his friends talk to him in Spanish and they all talk in Spanish and dont translate what their saying. But they do translate when they said something they want you to know.

I understand you'll speak your native language to native speakers but there's a difference between havin it being normal and having it be rude.

[Relentless_Hippie]

I don't understand why people feel so strongly about this. I guess it's my culture. Being Puerto Rican and Jamaican I understand why these people are the way they are. No, they aren't talking about you and no it wasn't their intentions to make you uncomfortable.

When you know more than one language and especially if the other is your native tongue sometimes it just happens. It's not easy to constantly think about what you want to say and then translate it.

My grandmother is Puerto Rican. When she speaks to me she'll try to incorporate Spanish words so I can learn but also she wants to feel connected in an easier way.

Imagine you learned how to speak French and moved to France. I'm certain you'd be relieved and a little happy whenever you came across a Native English speaker, or just an English speaker at all. When you think you think in English right? When these people think they think in their native tongue and translate it to English so you could understand. It's not an easy thing to do 24/7.

[Stacyzee]

Nice perspective but examples given shows how these people appear rude. Ignoring someone and not greeting them when ur job is customer service is rude , there's no excuse. Only greeting ur own and being friendly goes beyond just being happy to see someone that speaks ur language.

[Relentless_Hippie]

Well I don't know. A lot of the time I believe we have our own bias and things tend to come off as one way when they aren't, or at least not intended to. I know if I were in another country and especially didn't know that language too well I would probably come across as unfriendly and mean when in reality I'm kinda afraid to talk to you.

I've seen far too often people get mistreated when they do try to speak because a lot of people can't understand them. They try to make conversation and get belittled because they don't know enough English. A lot of people think they're stupid because of the language barrier and job position they're in, and a lot of people just don't want them here period.

If that's what your experiences are constantly eventually you just won't even bother. To protect yourself yes, but also so you're not a "burden" to others. Plus you're going to come off as more friendly to your own because in a situation like that you'd be overjoyed.

[archiz]

exactly this

[Stacyzee]

Towards the end of this article, I mention the fact that not every bilingual person has bad intent. I also acknowledge that there are also plenty of those who are discriminatory towards those who aren't their own. I can tell the clear difference. The discrimination is what I have felt with a handful of them.
Thanks for responding.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Real talk. I lived in Italy for a summer. I'm pretty good at Italian, but it's kinda a relief to sorta shit your brain off and not have to translate or think about translating. Some days, speaking, translating and understanding is easier than others. Some days I was a fucking beast and others, you'd think I didn't understand a lick. So I can understand when people start talking in a foreign language

One of the craziest things was when I was eating dinner at a restaurant and there was this couple. The crazy part wasn't that 1 was English and the other was French, believe it or not 😂. They spoke English (obviously), French (obviously), Italian, German and like 4 other languages. And they'd talk in multiple languages in a conversation... I'm the same sentence sometimes. And when I talked to them, they said they would just switch at random without thinking about it, which I thought was incredible. I think some people switch languages without really thinking about it

[Relentless_Hippie]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau Wow that's amazing! I would love to spend a summer in another country, particularly France, and I definietly agree, especially when it comes to whatever is most natural to them. Your story reminded me of when I was in high school I had this Spanish teacher. He was from Puerto Rico and his wife was from Italy. They try to teach each other their languages and communicate in English. When they're arguing or frustrated they'll revert back to their native tongue and they always have a "I can't understand you!" moment lol. I think the people who tend to get mad at things like this are just ignorant. No one is being rude on purpose it's just something that happens.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

La citta, Sorrento è bellissima 😍. Vicino di Vesuvio! Depends where you go in France. I wanna go to, cause I have a ton of friends there. Yeah, if you ever wanna know what it's like to
a- have an accent
b- people not understand you despite appealing the language
c- how fucking uncomfortable and stupid speaking a language
Live in another country. Like I said, I lived in Italy for a summer (3 months) and really good at Italian, but took me a solid week before I was comfortable enough to have conversations

And of you aren't completely fluent, or the person you talk to isn't completely fluent, it's really hard to continuously talk in that language, especially because things get lost in translation. And that story is hilarious 😂. That must be a crazy ass relationship 😳

[Relentless_Hippie]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau Lol yeah, he said she was crazy but he liked that about her. She was a free spirit and they both rode motorcycles together with the leather jackets and everything haha. And hey, being awkward in another country will only help me further understand others lol. I've never been outside of the U. S. but if I ever get the pleasure of visiting another place I'd like to be fluent in that language. Especially for safety reasons.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Lol, that's ridiculous! Yeah, it definitely helps, but it also is a great way to get outta your comfort zone and do a shit ton of things, especially if you go by yourself like I did. Yeah, you should go to another country of you get the chance. I've only been to a few times, myself, but it's definitely worth it every time. It helps to learn the language, but it's not necessary. Most countries, especially in the touristy areas, know English

I've also been lucky enough to travel a good part of America and the cool thing is that the country is so big that you can feel like you're in another country

[Relentless_Hippie]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau Sounds awesome! I really would like to explore my own country first especially the mountains. I've only been to a few states but I have friends that travel a lot and seeing all their pictures and videos of those places is breathtaking. This is why I need college lol. I've gotta get me a good job first because I can't do diddly squat.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Yeah, that's how I got to go to Italy in the 1st place. I became fluent in the language and studied abroad. I guess it depends on where you live, but I'd say take a road trip just to see how far you get. I did that for graduation and got to north Dakota from NJ. I didn't try to speed through it, either. It was fun

[redeyemindtricks]

I get what you're saying, but, you should cut people at work a little slack. The people the clerk was greeting in Spanish were probably pretty close friends or even family -- I know the kind of neighborhood you're talking about, and it really *does* tend to be one of those "everybody knows everybody" kinds of things.
And work is... well, work. It can get monotonous, and in NYC there REALLY isn't a culture of greeting everyone with a big smile. It's the city -- people just want to get in, get their shit and get out.
Honestly, I think more people would get annoyed if there were too many pleasantries, since there's already way too much waiting in NYC as it is. I mean, whenever I've been in a Gristede's in midtown, people in line get murder-eyes if the clerks have more than 1 or 2 lines of conversation with anyone, lol.

__

Also -- The Russian language has a fundamentally different tonal structure. Russians don't raise and lower their voices or tones in the same way Americans do -- so, LOTS of Americans think that Russians are talking in a "rude tone of voice" when in fact they aren't at all.
(More familiarly, Americans tend to make the same mistake when hearing perfectly polite conversation in Chinese. As one of my Chinese American girlfriends put it once, "Cantonese is screaming; Mandarin is just yelling."

@sovetskii13 is a native speaker of Russian, so, he should be able to confirm what I'm saying here.

[Stacyzee]

I remember having a Spanish friend who was bilingual who agreed with me on this issue. As much as people want to make excuses for others or paint them in a acceptable light , the fact of the matter is there is such a thing called discrimination. Unfortunately, I've been made to feel that way by some bilingual people. Not all of them have that intent (I can tell the ones that are harmless). But let's not sit here and act like we live in a perfect world where everybody loves everybody.

[redeyemindtricks]

Oh, no, of course not. Some people are haters.

But, honestly, when I'm out and about in the city, I'd honestly rather have service that's brusque but efficient, than service that's "pleasant" but slow/inefficient.

In general, I've found that 99% of the time I get back what I give. If I'm nice and polite to people, they are nice and polite back to me. Good enough for me.

The other 1% of the time, I just assume that something bad has happened with them lately, and that's why they are being the way they are. They might just be assholes, but, not my problem anyway (:

[Stacyzee]

As you know, I live in nyc where everyone is usually in a rush. However , it's refreshing to have fast service and a friendly one as well. I'm tired of rude cashiers. There has been many occasions where I greet them, only for no response and them to robotically ring my items up.
All i am saying here is you don't have to have a conversation with me , but what happened to simple proper conduct? Why only do that to those that are your own when it's clear u speak English too? It's rude and showing favoritism.
A cashier having a bad day isn't my problem. It's personal and should be left at home.
If your surgeon had a bad break up and wrecked your surgery would u sympathize? If your therapist was going through personal issues and couldn't provide u the services u needed , would u sympathize as well? The fact is , we live in a world where you have to show professionalism. What's going on at home isn't anyone's problem or business but your own. You're here to do a job efficiently.

[redeyemindtricks]

Again, I'm with you, but, I don't let it bother me.

The type of establishment is important. If I go into a discount store, or a market whose point is to provide things for the cheapest possible price, then, I don't give shit #1 about customer service (although I still *appreciate* it when it's provided -- and will go the extra mile with yelp reviews, etc. and I've even called managers just to put compliments in for certain employees).

On the other hand, if I'm going somewhere that's more expensive or exclusive, then, yeah, my expectations are different. Because at higher price points, the service is a big part of what you're paying for.

The analogy to a surgeon isn't a good one, because the stuff you get from the store isn't of inferior quality.
In that analogy, the surgeon might be an emotional wreck, but he'd do the operation correctly -- just as the products you get from the store are still the same products.

[Stacyzee]

The analogies aren't meant to be comparative but more so to provide a bigger picture that professionalism always counts. What should be left at the door , should be left at the door. Point blank period. There's a say you conduct yourself during your work. Personal issues should not be bought there. It doesn't matter your line of work. The fact that you are dealing with people through any circumstance you are expected to act a certain way.

[Stacyzee]

*there's a way you conduct

[redeyemindtricks]

Like I said, I'm totally on board with you here. (:

I just don't let it bother me when people cop an attitude -- especially at no-frills discount stores. Jobs at discount stores really suck, and I'm well aware of that.
Not gna let it affect *my* day.

[Glue-Sniffer]

Well, i didn't know we were supposed to pussy foot around people and make them feel like we cared about them all the time because they were so sensitive...😏
Please, what's next? Reasons why I hate people who drive a Porsche?
It's very understandable that people are going to use a skill when it benefits them. You probably don't understand but most of these bilingual people were brought up with parents who spoke to them in their native tongue. Why would they need to think about other people's sensitive feelings when it doesn't even matter. It's not like they are using a superpower and you feel excluded.
Let me explain it to you in simple words, if one is living somewhere where one is part of a minority, one will try to connect to others who are part of that minority because one feels vulnerable.
You'd do the same if you lived in another part of this world where you were part of a minority. You'd be much friendlier to someone who came from north America than someone who came from, let's say china. This is very normal. If you want to experience the same then move to china and we'll talk again... 😏

[Stacyzee]

I am speaking about some bilingual people which I made clear from the title. If you don't do these things, then don't take offense to it. It's just that simple. Acting the way you are now, just confirms that you are those who are ignorant who lack proper self conduct.
If someone made a take about "The Things I Hate About Some Women" why would I get all hot in my panties about it? Unless I'm I am the woman in question guilty of those actions.
The fact is there are some rude bilingual people as well as those who speak only one language. I am simply just sharing my experiences with those who lack etiquette which you seem to.
The thing is I live in America where there's something called diversity.
I treat all people equal.
I don't show favoritism to someone just because they are my race.
People are people.

[Glue-Sniffer]

As I already explained, as long as you live in your familiar environment where you were brought up you don't feel anything toward the people around you because you are just one of them. But if you move to another part where you are not one of them and the people living there don't speak your language you will automatically feel connected to someone who is from your original country because you will have many things in common. I have experienced this many times and have observed it in others as well. You won't really understand this until you are in this particular situation where you are part of a minority. It's not rude, it's just like a "I'm in the same boat as you" gesture when one is friendlier.

[Stacyzee]

Well, that's a completely different scenario.

I get that you are trying to provide me a perspective.
I understand it completely.
However, lets be realistic just as there are rude people that speak only one language there are those who are bilingual that are plain rude.
I've unfortunately had to encounter them.
I'm not saying all bilinguals have intentions to be disrespectful, but there are just those who seem not to care. They go out of their way to be friendly towards their own, and are cold towards others.

[flakosky]

Reading a few comments i noticed very clearly that everyone takes this MyTake in diff ways. People who move out of their countries, they do it beacuse they're seeking for a better life style, a place where is safe and, a place who is better economically. Unfortunately the language is a huge barrier for many of us and we can't help but to speak out own language when we are around people that speak the same language. Why? Because it's just easier to speak our own language and we dont have to think about what to say or what words to use to express what we want to say, and with that comes our culture. We have our own culture and everyone should respect it instead of telling us to change it and get use to the culture that the country we now live in has. We were raised in a different way and we can't get used to the new culture in a year. So, for those who say "go back to your country, why did you move if you dont speak the language, go back to where you came from" those people haven't lived what some of us had to go through and they haven't left their families and liives behind just to be safer and of course to have a better lifestyle like I said before. If the language wasn't a barrier and we all spoke the same then things would be much easier for everyone.
As for your experience with those 2 girls, you could've just said " sorry girls I dont feel comfortable when you guys speak your language cause blablabla can you speak english?" And you wouldn't have felt awkward again.

[Stacyzee]

Thanks for ur response.
It is an overview of the perspective some people provided here and your response to it.
I see the viewpoint but like I've said to others and in this article there are two types of bilingual people. Those who do things subconsciously (without intending to cause harm) which is the type of person you just described and those who actually are discriminatory or plain rude (and just don't care). Just as there are rude people who speak only one language there are those who are bilingual who are that way as well. We can try our best to act as if that doesn't exist and justify it but the reality of it is the world isn't perfect. Some people are just rude and want to cause harm.
Now the African girls were sweet (and weren't trying to cause harm) but we're being rude subconsciously. I'm not about to tell someone I only speak with after class and before it not to speak their language in front of me. They have every right to do so. We were not close on that level.

[flakosky]

Lol that's true. And i completely agree with you!👍

[Fathoms77]

I have to agree with some of that, and I find that those who are rude don't speak ANY language particularly well. These are not the highly educated scholars with classical educations that speak four languages fluently. No, they tend to be low-brow, low-class individuals who can't really speak English, and can't really speak Spanish (or whatever).

They also tend to be louder, for some reason. Like people shouting across the store at each other in another language... I don't care what your original language is, when you came to the country, or what your culture is. That's rude. No, childish would be a better word. I'd be committing the same faux pas if I shouted across the store in English.

[pbracing33b]

I can't stand it either, I think it is extremely rude and disrespectful. If you wanted to speak ur native tongue, then you should of stayed where you came from. If your in America, then speak English, if your in the UK, GB, Scottland, then speak English. If you are in Mexico, China, Germany then speak your own language there. But please quit being disrespectful to those around you. I tend to get rude to people who do this.

The people that I find are the worst at doing this in the US is Middle Eastern folks, Spanish and Chinese people. They are the worst, actually out of all of those Middle Eastern people are the worst. I can't stand any Middle Eastern people, they are the most disrespectful people that I have ever encountered, and not only that they don't take showers, they do strange things at night and they will NEVER ever TIP any American for service they have done for them.

Don't ask me how I know so much about foreigners, but I've had enough of them to last me a lifetime.

[archiz]

I think you re exaggerating and being too sensitive.
I am somewhat trilingual and the things you mentioned aren t really done on person.
like in my country we all use the 3 languages in our conversation creating somewhat a 3rd language a slang.
Like the easiest example to mention in lebanese is: Hi kific cv? where hi is English
kific arabic and cv french.
so when we re used to speak like that it s hard to exclusively speak one language cause we are used to mixing it up.
reason why when we find someone like us, we tendto talk to him likw that.
it s like if you know your mother tongue and learned a new language but you re not as fluent in it. so when someone speaks your mother tongue you tend to speak it with him.

[archiz]

on purpose**

[Stacyzee]

I've had plenty of instances with those who speak more than one language who were not rude. This article is only showcasing the terrible experiences I've had with those who blatantly are. None of this own imaginative or exaggerated being that there are plenty of users that specified they've been through the same. The fact of the matter is that, sole bilingual people are plain rude the same with those who speak only one language. I can try my best to cover them or explain why I think they did what they did but it still doesn't change the action itself.

[archiz]

well yea there are rude people everywhere

[Stacyzee]

Sorry for the typos I hope u can still understand. I am using a phone with tiny keys.

[archiz]

lol no worries I didn t notice shit and I do far worse on a daily basis

[justbanANNAz]

it's a bit generalising, but these issues can pop up if the bilingual person is inconsiderate, of course.

not all of them are like that though so I'm sorry stacyzee i gotta say #generalisation653 :P forreal though, it isn't as common as id expect- the rudeness. one i dont like however is when I'm at my hairdresser [she's indian], she'll start talking to her indian colleagues and clients in front of everyone else. i think it's worst in a professional setting, so i completely see where ur coming from.

[Stacyzee]

There's nothing generalizing about an article that clearly states what I am speaking about is applicable to some bilingual people. That word is even in the headline of this article.

[justbanANNAz]

just saying =]

[Stacyzee]

People love to insert the word "all" although this article keeps saying "some" throughout. Please, really read and then you'll see this isn't hash tag generalizing of whatever crappy tag u just placed.
Thanks for commenting!

[justbanANNAz]

chill girl, i read it.
i think ur a good writer but very defensive here. okay so your article says 'some'. so sorry.

[Stacyzee]

You're an editor who cries when people misinterpret your word, you even go ad far as to block them. I'd expect better from you. Don't throw stones in glass houses.

[Stacyzee]

Especially when you live in one.

[justbanANNAz]

look at that lol. outta nowhere, snap. have a good day love.

[Stacyzee]

What? I'm just speaking about what I take notice of. Good day!

[justbanANNAz]

u and me both <3

[Stacyzee]

Generalizing means to indicate an entire group which I did not because I mentioned the word some in my headline and throughout this article. So , I'd look that word up again if I were u to get a clear definition.
My interpretation of you is more accurate because comments don't lie!
Later!

[justbanANNAz]

thank you for that insight.
and if you'd like to take that direction, messages dont lie either.

[Stacyzee]

Don't know what you're talking about. We've never spoken. You're just the child that feels the need to have the last word. Have it. I'm done.

[BiscuitesSwag]

I'm trilingual myself (I don't know if my English is considered good enough by native speakers to be considered my 3rd language, but still) and I want to point out that not all of us do these things.
For the 1st point, when we (as in me and my boyfriend) were hosted by a Polish family (in Poland, ofc) they just started talking in Polish to each other and flat out ignored us. So we started to talk to each other in Hungarian and they found it very rude from our side. Uhm hello, you guys were talking in Polish, why can't we communicate in our language?
As for the second point, when I was with the class on a changing experience program with a high school from Gyula (Hungary) they looked down on us and told us that we can't speak Hungarian. We are Hungarians as well and they looked down on us because we weren't born in Hungary like them.

[MakeShiftThug]

What can I say? If you knew another language you'd understand. We can't help it.

[AleDeEurope]

I agree with that, and I'm bilingual.
I hate it when I enter a store or some place, and there's a Latino, and if they realize I'm Spanish, they'll start speaking in Spanish, and I don't like that, especially if there's other people there, people that don't understand Spanish. It's rude cause it's like pushing them away from the conversation.

[jacquesvol]

I'm multilingual. My wife too, so is my son. We'll often switch languages when talking to each other. No problem.
We always talk (as much as we can) the language of the person we're dealing with. I pity the people who try to speak my native language (with difficulties) thus I'll use their language when I can.

But indeed, some employees speaking the same native language will tend to use that.
But wait until you go to Switzerland or to Quebec. (Or to some known Flemish cities) You'll feel worse.

[JRICHARDS1996]

When I was in high school the Mexican girls used to bully me for not knowing how to speak Spanish. They did the same to my mother too when she was in high school. Needless to say, it made me prefer the White girls instead. Mexicans can be very mean to their own kind, particularly those from Mexico toward those who are more Americanized. A lot of it was through the ways you listed, so I strongly agree with this take.

[aficionado]

I'm bilingual too, but very few people speak my native language, and I am much more comfortable with English. And I only converse in my native language with my family and a few close friends.

I get where you are coming from, though.

[zombiebabe]

am trilingual :/
and i make sure not to make other people uncomfortable like you stated in #1
and when it comes to the second point... nah... am not friendly towards my own am friendly only towards the ones who deserve it ;)

good take by the way

[reixun]

The sense of community when another speaks your language makes you discomfort worth it lol

It gets kind of annoying how familiar people I've never met get with me. I was walking down the sidewalk and a woman pulled me to the side to translate a letter from her renter. Then she asked me about how to deal with her situation but I suck at my language so I didn't know how to tell her I'm too young to know jack shit about renting !

[WombRaider]

Get over it.

Your fault for living in such a multicultural society.

I speak franglais with my siblings all the time.

[WombRaider]

Being a londoner I hear dozens of different languages each day.

Some of them I understand, most of them I don't... I don't get into a hissy fit and write a MyTake expressing my bitterness at not taking the initiative of learning and enjoy language.

[Stacyzee]

The irony of your comment is you're the one throwing a hissy fit due to me having an opinion you are unable to handle.
It's called freedom of speech, I am able to write about whatever I want. If you can't deal with it, then don't click on a take that clearly offends you.
I said this is about "some bilingual people" but since you seem to have tight panties on the issue clearly you're the set of rude ones that only takes their feelings into consideration without wondering how big of a jack ass they're allowing themselves to look to the world. It is evident by your comment. Good job exposing yourself!

[Stacyzee]

Take your own advice and get over it. I'm allowed to write about whatever I want.

[WombRaider]

And I, and the rest of those who disagree with you, are allowed to criticise every single aspect of your MyTake, whether you like it or not. Freedom of speech doesn't shield you from opinions that differ from your own.

I don't even know what you're doing on GaG if you can't welcome disagreement lol.

[WombRaider]

P. S I'm not telling you what to write lol

Jog on love.

[Stacyzee]

You had a very poor attempt at calling me out. I can clearly note the irony that I notice. You're a man crying about someone "having a hissy fit" yet you appear to do the same. I can take peoples opinions this is why I am still standing after writing 131 takes. I love imbeciles who fail to read and magically think the word "some" means "all". This take is providing my personal experience with some bilingual people as mentioned. Never did I say I have a problem with all of them. The fact that you are quick to take offense shows you're the large portion who lacks proper conduct. No surprise here! I will not jog along in my own take. You responded. I answered. End of story.

Chill, she made couple of points. First one very valid. In UK we take that as being VERY rude speaking in different language when someone else is there. Being from UK I would've thought you would've known?

Nothing to do with being in Multicultural society or different languages. Just MANNERS!!

You're the one seem butthurt here, she was polite.

@Oram52 No one I know cares when someone speaks another language.

Your shinny white knight has arrived OP.

[Oram52]

Yes another intellectual come back.

Yes no one cares when they speak Polish or another language, EXCEPT, what OP specifically emphacized. When they are in a group or together, it is considered rude in UK that they start speaking in another language when someone else is with them. It is considered bad manners, and it is.

[Oram52]

I would agree on first point. Its just plain rude to speak in a different language when you are with someone esle. Its just basic manners.

I can't help it when I'm in front of my Hispanic friends. I know it might seem rude or funny to black friends, but I value Hispanics as worthy of speaking to in their language too.

I've witness the same thing Stacyzee. And lots of people who are bilingual do this. Especially those who are not native English speakers.
