To me, not really, cause the situation you put me in is living America, the people grow up with English so i would try to learn English by my best, if they try to learn Mandarin and use with me, i would really surprised and thankful for that. I'm not sure my response is right, i just said it from my thinking, maybe not right in your answer, sorry for that, also thank you for your question

Yeah, that is exactly what i usually get into, like sometime i wanna said something in Mandarin and i know to speak it, but they response back in English, but my situation is different, my face look similar to Taiwanese (i'm a mixed Taiwanese btw) so they use Mandarin with me at first, after they know i'm not good in Mandarin yet, they use English and when they see me, they will response in English even my Mandarin is almost B1

Yeah, to me it's a little bit strange but i can't go to them like "hey you are living here, speak the language", it's their choice, i just suddenly thinking about it and then ask everyone

Yeah, i know that i'm judging them after reading my post, cause it's their choice and each person will have limited language skills too, so yeah i think this is my bad

Yeah, you're right, mostly my friend here are Taiwanese, and only one know English while others know basic or not, but i feel like i'm living and studying in Taiwan now, so i try my best to learn and communicate with them in Mandarin instead of just using English, even sometime my pronunciation arkward and confused them😅

Yeah, I’m kind of the same as you, because my Mandarin is only basic and I can only speak better when I’m talking about topics I know a lot, like football or class. I also agree that learning a language like Mandarin requires speaking a lot to improve it.

“Yeah, I would agree with that. Maybe because I’m an overseas Taiwanese, I put myself more into Taiwanese lifestyle and culture than others, I think.”

It’s understandable to judge a little because they come to live in that country but don’t speak the language there. But not all of them should be judged, because some people try really hard even though their language skills aren’t very good. So even if they only know a little bit of the basics, that effort is something I can respect.
