speak english

it is soooooo annoying when people talk in their own language in public, and really loud too. it is obnoxious. yeah, sometimes, they don't know english etc etc. 1) either learn the language 2)don't ******* talk so loud. god damn.

You totally deserved this for trying to be smart. Prick.

I really, really hate when people speak another language publicly. Maybe YOU think it's funny, or maybe you just want to have a private conversation, but I personally think it's rude, no matter WHAT you're saying. If you're in America, please speak English - at least when you're in public. You totally deserved that though. It was shallow & rude. Hope you learned something.

ignorance at its best. if you don't like Americans then get out of our country. end of story.

I'm learning Swedish even though I'm not a Swede.. so there aren't necessarily a lot of Swedes. Shame on you, though. You never know who's studying a second/third/etc language, and you'll never know what level of fluency they're at. My dad only speaks English, but we keep commentary like this in private places, like the car, or at home. Just a tip.

I hate all these people that say the OP is just being a douche, and they deserve that for trying to be a smart ass, and that this is abusing the knowledge of more foreign languages. But most of all, those that say that they should have the balls to say it in their face in a language they can understand. In fact, I can't stand that. What makes this have anything to do with being brave enough? We don't see people going up to each other and yelling out crude remarks at each other. This is no different. If anything, that girl is being disrespectful by eavesdropping on the OP's family's conversation. They have the right to communicate in whatever language they want; especially if this took place in the US, where there isn't even an official language. #111 got it right. If you can speak different languages with people, all power to you. And especially #132. See, the thing is, almost every non-English speaking country in the world enforces English classes in school. Many Americans are the ones who won't get off their high horses and don't bother learning anything else. You work hard to learn a language--> You have the right to use it. Simple as that.

#139 Where the hell did anyone's land ever come from? I guarantee you that every place on earth was habitated by a different people before the current one. So no one's country is their own. Even you should "KNOW" that. But you don't. Don't be ignorant just because you act the same way as the OP. The OP should learn to watch their own and their families mouths in public because no matter where you are, that's bad manners and poor upbringing to talk about people behind their backs. They would be insulted if someone speaking another language talked about them in public. Also it doesn't show a whole lot of self confidence or security when you do something like this. For crying out loud, bully's in grade school do that. If you can't be above a grade schooler than wow, the lot of you have a lot of growing up to do. Bottom line is the OP, their family, and anyone who agrees with them, are poor citizens of the world and need to learn some self-confidence and respect for other people. And it doesn't matter where this incident took place.

Haha, den förtjänade du!
