“After the fact, I was kind of annoyed that I didn’t think to tell him exito triente, but then again, why should I have had to”

That’s what I picture here. And no, please don’t. When I lived in Europe, I learned the local language. I mean I went to school. I speak English in my country.

“I speak English in my country.”

I set my liberal brother up during a conversation. Was on a project and one of the helpers the large company provided me with only knew a few words of English so it made things difficult.

“Well, you can’t expect new immigrants to know English right away. Our grandparents didn’t know it either.”

“Yeah - except he was their longest term employee - 26 years!”

“Oh. Wow.”
