That lovely tourist season when you enter a place in your own city and people greet you in English

Then you say "hello" in your language and you both laugh awkwardly

When going to another country I first learn how to say “hello” and “thank you” so I guess I wouldn’t in this situation. 😌

I hope 😬

@SW-User it's so cute when tourists do that!

Also, I’m curious how to say it in a happy tone? 🤔

Never too late to adopt the queen's English

@HijabaDabbaDoo yesss queen!
@HannibalAteMeOut that's me walking into Athens ready to use the only two Greek words I know. Malakas and Mooni

@HijabaDabbaDoo those are the only ones you need. You're ready for full conversations 🥺 Proud of us for exporting our culture.
international sexual tensions 😩

I totally trick folks, inadvertently of course, that I am in the know when it comes to the Greek language.

When I go somewhere, anywhere....I pretend to be Canadian. No one hassles me, and everyone respectfully leaves me alone.

Yeah it's like that where I am, everyday I hear like 6 languages and American accents. I walked to the park and I literally understood nobody the entire walk there

They don't even bother to learn "hello" in your language?
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@SinlessOnslaught who? I mean the people who own shops, restaurants etc they get used to speaking in English during summer so sometimes they even greet us locals in English out of habit lol

But everyone knows how to say spanakopita!
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@basilfawlty89 but nobody knows how to make it 🙄
When you're from the same city and they think you dont speak the language 😌
