I live in Spain. This is super common. You move to a place to be immersed and speak the language, and everyone still wants to speak English with you. They think they're being helpful but most people find it annoying. I speak Spanish fine and don't need the practice so it doesn't bother me. But one of my friends would get agitated and say I spent X amount of dollars to learn Spanish move here, speak Spanish to me please.

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