    I think the guy was rude. Geez, it was your own private conversation, it wasn't his concern or his business :smile:

    This. And I would have told him, in plain English so he'd understand, to go shove it and mind his own damn business!

    He was rude! As long as you can communicate with the public with no problems who cares? I volunteer in an Elementary school and it drives me crazy when the kids have to translate for their parents. (parents don't speak/understand English) That I think isn't right and I don't think the kids should be put in that situation, but if you were just talking with your siblings that guy should of just minded his own business!
    Besides, it's encouraged in school to learn a second language! It's a good thing to know more than one!

    Not. I would've answered him with two words in English.

    Sadly here in the USA you would be treated the same in mostly non-cultured cities, towns… It is sad, but for some reason low IQ’s breed animosity…

    The guy is likely a racist and a jerk.

    That man was not only being rude to you, he was being racist. You are not in the wrong at all.

    It was rude when its your private conversation with family members, not condoning his behaviour but i can see why he is maybe irritated with what goes on in this country, but i think that's a bigger issue than than some family members talking to each other in Spanish.

    What is going on in his/my country?
    I'm wondering this too Lexi, I hope nothing to worry about!

    Yes, please do tell, we want to know as we're not aware...

    What is so bad about that?

    I used to do the same for my parents, I didn't have a problem with it. I have no idea why you think it's not right.

    I normally tell people who say something like that to me, that I was talking about them and didn't want to hurt their feelings. After, I switch to English, and just like cruelly make comments about the person. I'm a **** towards Xenophobes.

    That was incredibly rude. Sorry you had to deal with that. If I were there I would have supported you and told him to get lost before called a police officer to arrest him or at least give him a warning if an arrest for assault was unlikely.

    I presume this guy is an indigenous Indian expressing his desire to have his country back from the white settlers who violently took their land from them........ no?

    Its also pretty hypocritical, because if there is something Brits are famous for it's the lack of foreign language skills and general arrogance in assuming "well everyone speaks English anyway!".

    I didn't know this. I've heard this about Americans, but not Brits.
