[quote=Anonymous]I'm in this situation as well, although since DH's family's language is Spanish, it's not entirely "foreign," and I do understand a great deal of it. They speak Spanish around me pretty much at all times, but when we are out (and we do actually go out to eat together often) they will switch to English if they are specifically addressing me, or if it looks like I don't quite get what they're saying. But in the situation OP is talking about--being at a restaurant with DH and his parents--I think it is rude of them. It is perhaps more inconsiderate of her DH, however, not to ask his parents to speak English or to at least translate for her. She's at a table with three people and has no idea what anyone is saying. That does not sound enjoyable, and the other people excluding her know it. In most other situations, I think everyone should speak the language in which they feel most comfortable, but I think this situation is different.[/quote]
