The day someone tells my mom to speak English in public is the day I go to jail

I think if you move to a country you should learn the language. If I moved to France or Spain or Italy or Japan, I'd learn the language of my new country. It's a respectful thing to do. Having said that, no one should tell someone else what language to speak. I don't think ruining your life over it is the answer, but it's your life.

@ChampagneOnIce When I lived in non-English-speaking countries, I did learn the language, but I still used English with my family and other English-speakers, why wouldn't I?

@SW-User Of course. I think that's what many people do.
