I must. This isn’t the first time that a native spanish speaker (and one that clearly can and does speak English) strikes up a conversation with me in spanish. 🙂
A guy was walking into the grocery store behind me … no this isn’t the start of a joke … anyway … as I got out of my car and was walking in, he said “buenas noches” to me. I turned around (as I walked) and smiled. Of course I knew what he said, but didn’t want to start up a conversation because I’d get lost quickly!
So, since I just smiled, he clearly assumed I didn’t understand and in English said “I’m sorry, no spanish.” 🙂
Guess it’s the darker skin and black hair. 😆
