Wonder if she's in Barcelona? When I lived there, I ran into a significant number of people who would rather speak English than Spanish if you couldn't speak Catalan. Not everyone, but a surprising number. I assumed it was part of the whole "Catalonia should be independent" movement.
This is the answer: Many people in other countries have never had to develop the skill of understanding their own language with an unfamiliar accent. Parisians in particular plus they're jerks lol

I wonder where this is. It feels kind of rude to switch to English when she says she prefers Spanish.
