[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rude Just daydream and smile occasionally [/quote] No. This rigidity about what's polite is truly stupid. Look, I'm a first gen immigrant married to an American who cannot speak my first language. When we get together with my family it's the same thing as Op describes. Nobody expects my spouse to sit around smiling like a doofus. At the same time, spouse also understands that my relatives want to catch up with each other and it's easiest and most natural to slip into our first language. So they disappear into a room and do their own thing, while the rest of the family do their thing. Everyone is happy. [/quote] I posted above about being the native English speaker in this situation and I agree with this. People get that I don’t understand the chatter and aren’t going to get offended when I curl up in a corner with a book. [/quote]
