My Experience In France,Italy And Spain

I experienced the same thing in these 3 countries.They totally ignored me when I spoke in English. It was definitely not because they have a poor command of the English language.

I got fed up and started speaking in Malay as I'm a Malay Muslim lady from Singapore.The minute I started speaking in Malay,they started speaking to me in English!So in my heart,I was like,you can speak English after all!

What kind of attitude is that?!I get it that you're proud of your language and expect people to speak it.I think French,Italian and Spanish are beautiful languages but I don't speak them!
