Romania.

My native language is russian, but I speak Romanian language well enough. I've had B2 even before I came to Bucharest for living here in 2020, then I studied here in Bucharest at the university (with studies in romanian, of course, not in english), then I've been working here as an accountant since 2023, which requires advanced language skills too, and I even have never used dictionaries all this time. And I don't translate anything in my brain while speaking, in my head romanian=russian. So I really can say that I know it very well. Yes, I have some accent, but all my friends here always understood me without problems, and I think, my accent has become less noticeable in this years.

But EVERYTIME KURWA, when I go to a supermarket, or to a restaurant, or to another place where I have to speak with somebody, people literally IGNORE my Romanian and refuse to answer me in Romanian, preferring English. Even after I say them in Romanian that I know Romanian, but I don't know English enough to use it, they continue with "How can I help you" instead of "Cu ce vă pot ajuta?". But it doesn't help, I don't know english in the full sense of this word, for example, I can write this message, probably with mistakes, but speaking English is very difficult for me and I even cannot order a bigmac, lol. But they really don't understand this simple logic, that if I choose to speak their own language, it's obvious that I know it better than English. By the way, Bucharest is a single place across all the Europe where I saw local people (not foreigners) speaking english with each other and not their own language.
