How often have you said if you hear someone talking in their own tongue (over here in Aust) have manners and learn our language well I feel the same. We are in their country so why not learn a few words.I took my children over and they often spoke to them in their own language and they took the time to make sure the kids understood them. I also found that if we said a few words in Balinese we got a better price and they appreciated our attempts. Not that I am to good at it and my kids made fun of me sometimes. Also was good to see my kids using something they had learnt at school. :)
