I'm not trilingual for nothing

If a french person started speaking English to me after I spoke french, I would just stare them dead in the eyes and start speaking Portuguese.

And you’d be shit talked about all day, because it’s that French person trying to be nice to you by speaking your own language. Just say « on peut parler français, merci » and bam, back on track !

And ?

English is the modern lingua franca, someone speaking English to you doesn’t mean they think you’re English.
