[quote=Anonymous]Some people consider it a microaggression. They _want_ tp speak English so speaking to them in their other language, especially if you are not fluent, is an offense to them. I speak a few languages but when I'm with friends where I know it's their native language, I'll only throw in a few words in the rare case where something is better explained in their language. For example "fu er dai" in Chinese doesn't have an English equivalent without a lot of explanation. It's the term for the kids of people who got rich in China but tend not to follow their parents' work ethic and act like they own the place.[/quote]
