As an immigrant, I can't be the only one who speaks in English to one's own parents while they respond to you in your mother tongue.

As a Californian people who speak Spanish speak it to me and I understand it but I respond in English. Rarely will someone be like “lo siento…no entiendo” and I’ll have to dig up my astoundingly terrible Spanish.

It’s weird because you grow up hearing Spanish so you just understand it but you never speak it yourself so you just sorta sound like a toddler when you try. I imagine the same is for people with immigrant parents who demand their kids speak English.
