Tip of the Tongue #2

The second in my series of tips for Irish people who are crap at languages. This is not quite a language-learning tip, more like a language-ignorance tip, but a useful one nonetheless. If you’re in a foreign country, you don’t speak the word of the language, and you rely on the natives to speak to you in English, make sure you show you’re grateful for their efforts. In general, they are doing you a favour by speaking to you in your own language, apart from the ones who are out to mug you or steal your kidneys.
