This is so true!! I was thinking about this earlier today while I was trying to order from a restraunt in English. I just moved to Montreal and even though I took 4 years of French, I do not understand (je ne comprend pas!!!) Quebecer French. And I feel bad, kind of embarassed because they are forced to speak English to me, and I know how frustrating it is. I think people who come to the US should be able to speak English....anyway, point is that I know how they feel about me because I feel the same way about many of the people where I come from in Texas! Learn the language of where you are. Plain and simple. Don't expect everyone else to adapt to you! (Remember, i am speaking to myself here mostly!!!!!!!!!)

There is a difference between someone moving somewhere and someone visiting somewhere.

I was thinking about this as I was watching the Amazing Race. They were in China and the airline agent was able to rattle off English. When I worked in customer service we were like :confused: if the account holder spoke Chinese or Japanese.

BUMP

Now that we're having some state of emergencies here, I'd like to see some more discussion.

But hey, I'm the thread killer, so thank you to whoever posts after this.

Hahaha this thread is awesome.
