How do you feel when you hear languages you don't understand, and why do you think you feel that way?

 @9HV4TW8from 9  answered…12mos12MO

I have no negative feelings about people speaking other languages, but I would like permanent residents of the UK to be able to speak English, or to be working towards the goal of having English proficiency.

 @9HWF2KPagreed…12mos12MO

English is a world language and the main language of the UK. If I moved abroad I would make a concerted effort to learn and speak to local language.

 @9HZVFWGanswered…12mos12MO

I don't have any particular feelings towards how people choose to communicate with each other, I don't see how it affects me if someone chooses to speak a different language.

 @9J4SR9Vagreed…12mos12MO

It's a great reminder of the vastness of the world in which we live, and the differences between all of us, and the fact that we can overcome all to live side by side in peace

 @9HVVZ67answered…12mos12MO

i think they have a right to their own country and i won’t discriminate but they should learn the language to be in the country

 @9HZK2S6disagreed…12mos12MO

As a foreigner myself I feel more comfortable talking in my native tongue to friends and family but will speak (fluently) English if people start complaining

 @9HZY6S5agreed…12mos12MO

Learning the language allows for easier integration into the culture and improves employment opportunities

 @9JDXWPYConservativeanswered…11mos11MO

If people our in the United Kingdom then they have a right to speak their own language but should still have a basic understanding of English

 @9JFV3M8disagreed…11mos11MO

English is a language that takes many years to learn. We can't expect people to bend over and learn English instantly, when we can't even speak more than one language most of the time.

 @9JF649Lagreed…11mos11MO

Of course they have the right to speak their own language. It would be for their own benefit that they adapt to the language, but this isn't accessible for everyone. The 1998 Human Rights Act gives people freedom of expression, how on earth could anyone not have the right to speak their language. I don't mind hearing a language I don't understand, if anything I'm interested as to know which it is.

 @9JFHNRQConservativefrom Florida  agreed…11mos11MO

There is nothing wrong with speaking a different language, however you should still know English or be in the process of learning English if you want to properly contribute to the country.

 @9JFF8LFagreed…11mos11MO

Everyone can speak their own language. If someone moves to the UK to live, they should receive support in order to learn English to help them navigate their daily lives and integrate into the wider community.
