yes definately.. infact once my kids were talking mandarin when another kid was around.. i corrected them that it is rude and not to do that again.

Absolutely rude! SOme people do it unconciously but some do it on pirpose to block the person out of the conversation. It's a major brush-off. I've been a victim of this a couple of times and it really ticks me off. It's kinda like saying 'you don't belong to our group so butt out'

I would consider that rude if we knew another and were at a social setting at that time. Similarly, I'd consider it rude if some of them start talking about topics and people whom only they knew. Unless it's a one-to one...but that won't work if the group consists of only 3 people!

It'saLâ™¥VEstorybabyjustsayyes

Mega â˜® Peace

I would be offended if that foreign language was their native language and they didn't speak English well... They might just be taking a break from the difficult task of trying to speak English, but if they we're just trying to be sneaking then YES that is very rude!

hEaRt on mY sLeEvE;(

United-Devils

yes. im kinda particular about that.

Shannon

ya i would say that thats kinda rude because either they dont want other people knowing what they are talking about, or they are doing it just to piss other people off, so ya thats rudeeee..

Not necessarily - if what they talk about is private. It is rude only if they are addressing the whole group, when they should use the agreed common language.

Into The Ocean

sort of i guess... a little..

Mrs. Jaimee Harmony OOH

If their intention is to alienate you...YES!

Though there are times that saying it in a language that the rest understand is difficult for them...and they would end up with some slips and say something in their language...then maybe NO!

I find it more offending if people humiliate someone in public...in a language you can and cannot understand.

Gudmawnin Bean! (Its safe to greet you good morning at this hour eh?) How are you today?=D

Bunny

guerrero82

big_experience

Yes it is rude , And it's prohibited in Islamic religion. and it called TANAJY ( means that if were three people and one of them doesn't speak them language they don't suppose to speak it and they must speak the language that the 3rd person understand) The prophet said: If their is three people do not do Itnagy between two people without the third person . because it saddened him.

Rainie

Yes. Very much so.

Homer J Marley

Absolutely not Bean.

I live in a Bilingual country and served on a French-Canadian ship. I was never offended that the Quebecers spoke their first language in front of me...

Sly Snake

She walked into this beauty parlor and these Chinese people started talking in Chinese and calling her like a prostitute and slut etc and she happened to know Chinese and in their language she said " im sorry if my looks offend you" and then she walked away and they had their mouths just hanging open as she left. lol

YES!! That would annoy me so much! You would wonder if they were talking about you! I have no idea what I would do in that situation.

Zee..zzzz....

Yes..of course.
They might sharing some dirty secret and don't want you to know.

But I would not say it's rude if one of them be my translator.

If the conversation is conducted in a low voice & more on a one-to-one basis, I can accept that. I meant out of a group of say 6, 2 converse in that way, then no big deal. But if all converse in a different language & ignore you, then yes that's rude.

Jimmy Krumpets

William P

Yeah.. i think it's very rude it's just like when i go in the shop they are Muslim shop keeper's they speak a different language when people are in the shop and then start laughing i think HM... they could be saying something not nice about me here.. i don't think it should be allowed i know it's there shop but they have no Rights to do that sorry... my opinion you can say it's racist but i know it's not at all.

Thanks will

Dash10
