[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are being inconsiderate and rude. I'm Indian and ever since we were young, my dad always said that when we have non Indian guests over/vice versa, we always speak in English as to not make anyone feel left out. The fact that your inlaws seem to purposely speak their native language when you are with them, ignoring you, is just plain rude and disrespectful. [/quote] How magnanimous considering English is an official language of India :roll: My in-laws (who do not live in a country with English as anything close to an official language) do not need to learn to speak English just to speak to me (DIL). That would be ridiculous. Honestly, your analogy only works for the handful of countries where English is an official affiliate language and widely spoken so as to be nearly a native language to the in-laws in question.[/quote]
