[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wondered whether it’s better to assume someone speaks English or risk embarrassing them when they don’t. I know when people assume I speak Spanish I’m often embarrassed to admit I don’t understand. [/quote] I think, when in the US, assume they speak English, unless you hear them speaking another language. I got lost in the US, but in a neighborhood in a city that was predominantly Hispanic, and I asked for help in Spanish to men I overheard speaking Spanish before I walked up to them. We proceeded to speak in broken Spanish (me) and broken English (them). [/quote]
