ORIGINAL: Daddysredhead Dear gary... [8|] Mine were precious. Although they speak fluent English, sometimes they would forget and start talking to me in Sinhalese really fast and all I could do was *blink-blink* and finally interject with, "Umm... I'm white, and y'all done lost me." Lol, that reminds me when at first year uni sometimes one mate at Uni and I spoke briefly German on the bus afterwards without warning others and one particular person regular needed a while to realise that she won't be able to understand us now...it was never meant bad but sometimes it is just soooooooooooo much easier to have small talk in the native language [8|] Also sometimes, thankfully not too often, I do slip into my language and then realise again (often due to the face of the other person)...that one was the wrong drawer of the language box again...time to try again [8|]
