[quote=Anonymous]Two native speakers? Sure. But it can come across as patronizing and condescending if you’ve studied the other language a bit, and want to show how “connected” you are by speaking their language. I have medium familiarity with several languages that I’ve use to,actually get around in those countries when I was there, but no way would I speak to native speakers of those languages here if their English was at all decent. I would communicate with them in their language if they just arrived and had no English. You also better really know that they arrived from their,native country recently and aren’t Americans born here who may not know that language at all. [/quote]
