Yeah, not my experience with Germany and English-speaking folk. Last time I was there I had to use Google Translate and a lot of hand waving to purchase U-bahn ticket. My friend living there had a doctor downright refuse to read her results to her because she had a weird accent while speaking German.

Think you miscolored Iceland, pretty sure most natives fall under the “Wait you learned a single word of Icelandic? You’re pretty cool for a tourist…”

The Spaniards like that?

I remember one time I was at a resort in Mexico and I asked reddit how service workers feel when foreign guests start speaking their language. Don’t remember what the hive mind said.

All I know is I asked for my drinks muy fuerte and I didn’t feel anything until I switched to cerveza. I watched them pour, I’m pretty sure the booze was watered down.

They don’t realise if English isn’t your first language.

As in to English speakers, English is a default language that everyone should speak so it never occurs to them that it is anything special.
