Nah we ain’t like that,
It’s not like we doesn’t respect you cause misspelled le train,
We doesn’t respect you in the first place
“Told 2 words”!!
Basically, yes, amico mio 😎
Ireland should be light blue
And if you go regional it’s even more insane. You will never find a more faithful friend than a Catalan that hears a fellow Spaniard even attempt to speak Catalan.
yes I’m sure many Irish, Scottish and Welsh have absolutely zero reaction when you speak their language
clearly celtic nations can into south europe
buenos tardes pedro, somos amigos ahora?
But we like it even more when you can actually speak it
> Go to France
> Mispronounce one word wrong
> Get killed by a lynchmob
That is not my experience in Germany.
“Ich verstehe kein Deustch. Ich bin a Tourist. Englisch, bitte.”
“Ah, so you do speak German. No more English from now on”
Weird, we don’t outright correct you. We just say the correct sentence and then insist on using english because we can’t bear the butchering of our language
Germany for some reason always feature on these maps as some bastion of English foreign language capability.
Anyone who has been to Germany knows that is far from the truth.
Russia: “you are яussian now, please do not resist”
I hope it’s the case, i might go work in Bucharest in a few months
Strangest reaction was in prague 14 years ago, a friend of mine was speaking fluently in english to a vendor until he replied “parla italiano che capisco meglio” (speak italian, I understand it better)
Heard an american speak in the most broken swedish-half english combo I have ever heard once on the radio once and I was just **”STOP, BY ALL THE GODS HUMANITY HAS EVER INVENTED, I’M BEGGING YOU TO STOP! JUST SPEAK ENGLISH PLEASE! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!”**
The arab-swedish and balkan-swedish dialects are quite pleasant to listen to and work quite well but broken swedish mixed with english is fucking TORTURE!
I think this is a big misconception. I feel like we give credit to people who speak English well, especially if they struggle with a few words and we give them reassurance
Hold on, which obscure regional dialect of English are they speaking? Because that massively changes the reaction
Oh, good old times. Now we are quietly suffering for our sins against the English language, while listening to numerous guests starting slowly to speak Polish.
I deadass got a free dessert in Limassol for saying ‘συγγνώμη’ once.
Unrivalled hospitality.
that reminds me of my first Sweden trip. I took a whole year course for Swedish and whenever I talked to them they instantly responded in English.
Oh italians are that friendly?
Inaccurate, the caption for France should be in French because they certainly can’t speak English.
I mean if you spoke Welsh, Irish, Manx or Scot’s/Cornish Gaelic there would definitely be a reaction.
what if I don’t use vos?
Like fr? Why???
Pink should be two colours. One who regularly has non native speakers and the other who rarely have them. They all get excited over two words but the ones who rarely hear non natives speak just can’t accept simple grammar mistakes and have to correct you every single time even if they completely understand you and no matter how poor their English is.
Nah in Scotland if they can speak Gaelic or Scot’s or just understand our English accent it’s amazing
Im french
And we corect even other french when they do mistake
It’s not dissrespect….
And if you can say Vive la France and not Vive le France we can be friend
If someone rocked up here speaking Irish from anywhere outside of Ireland I’d fucking faint with the effort of not declaring my unwavering loyalty to them until the end of time
If they were doing it in Gaelainn na Mumhan I’d probably just get their face tattooed on my face

Ireland should have “Sorry I only speak english”
