Why do people get angry when i'm speaking German with my Friends?
Answer:
I am also german and when I speak publicly most people don't mind. If they do then they are jerks IGNORE THEM
Because you sound like a F n Nazi.
Sehen, Töne wie Nazimist
Only an ignorant person would do that. Ignore the human trash.
Maybe they think that your talking about them and they don't understand
Because we are in America and our language is English
Because it makes them uncomfortable. They wonder if you are talking about them. It's their own insecurity coming out. I'm surrounded by Vietnamese speaking people when we go to see my guy's family. I don't assume they are talking about me and they do their best to include me when I am the only one there who can't speak their language and they don't speak mine very well. Maybe if you try to include your friends a bit more, they might be more understanding.
I love the German language. It's beautiful. Don't ever be embarrassed to speak German to your friends.
As you mentioned: 'something stupid like that'. Ignore them: they have to live with themselves 24/7, you only need to shut them out occasionally.
Hey at least you're better then those people who can only speak one language, it's their own insecurity that's biting them on their as*
I know where you're coming from, because even though I'm an English-speaking American, I also speak some German and Spanish. Whenever I speak other languages, I sometimes get rude looks and comments. A lot of people argue that since we're in the US, we should speak only English. However, these people seem to forget the fact that the US isn't only Anglo-American. Diese Leute sind nur Arschlochs, und sie koennen mich mal...:)
Because we are in America and we speak English here also it is rude to speak in a language that others do not understand while they are in the same area. My ex was Cuban and he would get angry at his friends and family if they would speak their language when i was standing there with him it comes down to respect.
It's considered impolite. Probably you'd feel the same with people around you talking in inuit, or spanish for instance...it implies exclusivity and wanton disregard of people around who do not speak German.
It's a courtesy thing...people would understandably conclude you're discussing something bad or perjurative, that's why you are talking in German to keep people from understanding.
Same thing happens to mexicans
you're in America & if you're fluent enough to write in English you should be able to hold a conversation when you're out in the American society- it's simply rude & provokes negative feelings from anyone that's around that doesn't speak German as they naturally think you're talking about them or talking about things they can't overhear- it's rude & that's the attitude of the general public- don't let politcally correct anti-american-americans lie, they dislike it too.
I remember speaking English in Germany and a women getting angry, saying I should speak German when in Germany. I was in high school and had not taken German.
I understand that to speak or at least try to speak the language of the country you are in shows respect.
People speaking other languages like English in Germany comes off disrespectful. Comprende homie.
Because Modern Day Germany has been taken over by a bunch of sissies.
it depends on where you speak german - in germany its fine thats the language. not here its america speak the language ENGLISH! because if you don't love america THEN GET THE HELL OUT!
I know how you feel, some people have to grow up a Little, because is the same with Spanish people, if an American hears an Spanish people speaking Spanish the first stu... think they say is "Hey this is my country, go back to Mexico"!!, So well, what i say is thatt tha people who think like that are just ignorants, they don't think that is an excellent think to have what is call "Culture" In USA, so they are ignorants when it comes to someone else culture, and they don't care anyway!!, so that is the worst part of ignorance.
So keep speaking your own language, at work at the street, any place you feel like speaking it!!!!!
jealousy, and you said it stupidity, also low self esteem.
es ist ja auch nicht schoen deutsch zu reden, wenn andere dich nicht verstehen.
NIEMIETZ was ein stueck scheisse der kerl ist.
I hope yahoo has nobody speak german, otherwise they will delete this one
Because they are stupid. America doesn't have an official language so you can speak whatever language you want to. Besides they arent a part of your conversation so why the heck are they butting into your business anyway? What would be rude was if you were speaking to them in german when you are capable of speaking english.
