Would you get angry?
Answer:
No, Peter, I would not be angry. Most people, if an effort is made, can find a means of communication in the short term. If one is going to live in a foreign land, then it makes good common sense to attempt to learn the language of the land you are living in.
yes
No. I really don't care.I went to Germany and spoke no German at all and nobody got mad.
No, while most of the world does have courses in english, many travel companies provide the names of excellent interpreters who can ease the language barrier.
no
Generally it's annoying when someone doesn't speak English and they are getting upset with you when you don't understand them!
No.
no, but he should plan accordingly...i do my best when someone needs directions, i'm pretty good at figuring out what they're asking...the question is, do they understand what i'm saying? getting angry does what??
No, because americans tour other countries and dont speak the language there. It is a two way street after all.
NO it only bothers us when you move here and live here and won't lean English!
not as a tourist...I think it is common courtesy to try to learn the language if you are visiting...
no. would you? come on, be open-minded! if you want to go to china, will you learn chinese?
no thats understandable..but if they are going to live here they should have to learn english!!!!!!!! that really grinds my gears
Nope...as long as he is a Tourist, no problem. He plans on leaving
no
come on down
just go home after your visit
No, I wouldn't get angry. I'd feel sorry for a tourist who didn't speak English because too few Americans know a 2nd language. Many tourists go to countries where they don't speak the language. I wouldn't deny myself the pleasure of Italy because I don't speak Italian. I'd hire a guide.
No, would not bother me a lot. I have run into foreign tourists and have been able to help them with directions and so forth just by being patient.
No. All people are wecome in this country that obey the laws here.You will need an interpreter though.
No, not at a tourist. At a new immigrant, no. At an immigrant who has been here for a few years, yes.
No. tourists are fine. It's those that sneak over here, or those that's over here legally that refuse to learn English that most Americans can't stand.
No, when I have visited foreign countries, I did not speak their language. thankfully, there were people that spoke English!
Why ask? Americans are one of the few countries where people don't speak at least one other language and for the most part they are treated well. People come to the US? They are tourists and odds are even if they don't speak English (a rarity) they at least try to learn a few phrases. Something most americans do not.
NO!!!!! A tourist is someone that comes here from another nation to visit the USA. They do not intend to remain here. They do not intend to work here. They do not intend to go to school here. Why require them to speak english?
A tourist? Heavens no.
I have personally participated in many rounds of sign language with people I was trying to help who didn't speak English.
Airports are a common place for this problem, but most Americans are happy to help.
However, if you want to live and work here, you need to learn English.
No. What angers me is the people who live here and make no attempt whatsoever to learn even the basic phrases in English.
no i mean other countries dont get mad at tourists who dont speak the native language y should we.
why would I care about a tourist? I go to Europe and can't speak all their lanquages?
Not at all but if he/she were planning to live here /move here permanently ,I would expect him/her to learn.
Illegal aliens aren't tourists
I speak several languages and I am going to Japan on business in May,I have been learning (trying) the language for about 7 or 8 months..
Why ? To please my clients and surprise them with at least a little of their language
No I wouldn't be mad. That's like people in China getting mad cuz I'm visiting there country and I cant speak Chinese. That would be unreasonable to ask all tourist. If that was a must then nobody would ever leave there own country.
I don't get mad when they are just visiting. I get mad when they live here and refuse to learn English. I really can't stand it when Americans have to learn foreign languages just to have a job in their own country.What really kills me is when they are speaking their native tongue and look at me. Like I can't tell that they are talking about me. It's just bull.
No. How many of my fellow Americans go to central/south America, or asia and dont know a word of their languages? Plus Im not mean.
No, Peter... *flirt*
