I find it interesting hearing different languages to remain in touch with roots and the comfortability to share diversity of languages in public. I wish I knew more to understand or to feel included as well if I'm apart of the conversation but I do not mind.
@9HV5BXM1yr1Y
I dont really mind hearing other people speak other language besides English because I also speak another language beside English outside.
@9HW2M8Y1yr1Y
i actually love hearing people speak in other languages, i think it sounds great and sometimes i be thinking about learning to speak them.
I don't mind hearing other people speak other languages, but I don't speak other languages besides English.
@9HTPXXV1yr1Y
I don't feel any type of way when I hear languages I don't understand. I feel this way because there is no need for me to feel an emotion when hearing others simply speaking.
@9HXKLQM1yr1Y
im not bothered by it, there are times when i hear it and im left confused. especially when they talk and laugh afterwards, but theyre not hurting anyone and it doesnt bother me for more than 5 minutes. i think it doesnt bother me because i was raised with many people speaking a lot of different languages around me to the point where you just learn to accept it and just think about how cool it is to know that language.
@9J2BWVR1yr1Y
Other people being able to speak another language is cool, trying to learn another language myself the rules are complex yet fascinating.
@9HZGSBWNatural Law1yr1Y
I feel lost by not knowing what they’re talking about. However it really doesn’t make me have any ill feelings towards them unless behavior is shown that may support the language used.
@9HTQTRM1yr1Y
I think nothing about it because it isn't my languages if I cant understand it
@9HTT2VW1yr1Y
Curious. Because it's language is interesting and shapes how we express our thoughts and beliefs
@9K346RLRepublican1yr1Y
I don't really feel much when I hear another language. Other languages are pretty interesting to hear.
@9K68NN9 1yr1Y
The more languages you know the more knowledge you know within your own native language too. You are able to communicate and understand others around you better.
@9K4M36DIndependent1yr1Y
I don't really mind when I hear someone speaking another language, other than the fact I can't understand them.
@9KD8F4H1yr1Y
I completely understand that someone might be talking about something personal to them in a different language. Sometimes it can make me feel a little uncomfortable if they glance back at me or something like that because then I might interpret that they are talking about me specifically. Though then again even if they are talking about me it might not be necessarily bad so I try not to think about it that much because it is much more comfortable for someone to talk in their native first language than it is for them to try to talk about something in their second language just to make me feel more comfortable. I also really believe as someone that takes foreign languages that they are so beautiful and I have no problem if someone is speaking in other language around me other than the fact that I may not understand what they're saying.
@9JVM7SR1yr1Y
i’m not bothered by it as long as there is someway to translate what is being said and if said person is making an effort in communicating
@9RJPPZG9mos9MO
I don’t feel anything. Maybe annoyed that I can’t understand them. But it’s not wrong to speak another language.
@9RHNVDMRepublican 9mos9MO
I feel curious what language they are speaking. I hear music in languages so I find them beautiful and I feel bad when I don’t know how to speak to someone in their language
@9QYRB9F10mos10MO
I do not personally care if there are a diverse group of people in this country. I support loosening immigration because that's what this country was for. If there's people around me speaking a wide array of different languages, id feel like my country did its job for once.
@9QX3SQ8 10mos10MO
I’m fine with it because we don’t have a national language
@9QQQKRS10mos10MO
I think "ooh! I wonder what that language is? That's an interesting phoneme profile." and I think it's because I have a linguistics background.
@9P7NDTV11mos11MO
Its a bad felling but I think that is just my fear that they are talking behind my back.
@9K7MKKW 1yr1Y
I feel strongly disgusted that our immigrants have not assimilated into American society.
@9K4GX2RRepublican1yr1Y
I just mind my own business and let the people go on with their conversations.
@9LLHN5D1yr1Y
I don't really mind it because I hear different languages everyday.
@9K7RKD5 1yr1Y
I don't have a strong 'emotion' per se, as I am typically quick to find a way to solve the language barrier if I am speaking to someone who doesn't speak the same language with me. If this is the question, then I say I'm eager to solve the conundrum, I find myself to be nothing if not stubborn to solve problems. However, if it's just two+ people in public or school that are speaking a different language and having a conversation then I find it to be none of my business that they are doing so; perhaps a bit of curiosity about what they're talking about, but otherwise I go along my day. My feelings at the moment are my own and I find any sort of offense to the matter foolish.
@9K7JX521yr1Y
Annoyed that I don’t have a live translation headset and sad that I can’t learn more languages faster
@9K6TRWXProgressive1yr1Y
I just feel intrigued. I wish I understood what they were saying, but it’s so difficult to learn other languages; especially with the American public high school system. I know in the future it’s going to be a struggle when working and having a customer, client, etc. that doesn’t speak English and I’m going to feel bad.
@9K4DX4W1yr1Y
I feel indifferent, even though the native language in the United States is English, people are allowed to communicate in whatever language they want especially because of how diverse this country is.
@9K3LTLDRepublican1yr1Y
I Would like to understand it if they threaten you but It does not matter.
@9JZ56X61yr1Y
I think it's great that you are proud of your culture, I think I feel this way because I love speaking my native language too.
Not that hard of a question, i don't think much of anything either than the fact that I can't understand them.
@9JYYSVL1yr1Y
The first thing I do when I hear a language I don't understand is try to figure out what language it is, and if I can, maybe do a little translating using my Latin-roots. I think I do this because I'm fascinated by other cultures and languages.
@9JV78G8Independent1yr1Y
I find it quite fascinating and admirable. This is a country of immigrants and no where else in the world can you engage with so many cultures in your own neighborhood and share human connections with such a diverse spectrum of people. It is the melting pot of this spectrum that if handled with curiosity and humility that will allow America to continue to grow and progress.
@9LMGS3J1yr1Y
Foreign languages are cool. I love learning about other cultures
@9LKP7DC1yr1Y
When I hear different languages I don't understand, some intrigue me and others don't, like for example French, Romanian, and Italian languages fascinate me because I like the way they sound, especially Italian that sounds similar to Spanish.
@9K4V6HQRepublican1yr1Y
I feel curious and interested on where they're from. I feel that way because I'm not familiar with any other languages.
@9JZVHSX1yr1Y
Intrigued, I like to guess which language they are speaking
@9JZ3T9N1yr1Y
I feel envious that I do not speak the language because I think it would be incredible to speak more languages.
@9JWNBJW1yr1Y
When I hear languages I don't understand, I mind my business because if someone is bothered about someone speaking a different language around them they should go learn that language. I feel curious on what they are saying but immediately forget because I have my own life to be worried about.
@9JVTGSJRepublican1yr1Y
I really don't care about hearing foreign languages. In fact some languages fascinated me, especially if it sounds like one I've never heard before.
@9LLZN7X1yr1Y
I think it’s cool how diverse our country is but people need to be in our country legally.
@9K6DZWR 1yr1Y
Languages interest me a lot considering I speak both English and Arabic, so I don’t mind other people speaking their own languages. Languages make us humans smarter and more intelligent, so it shouldn’t matter whether or whether not someone is speaking any other language besides English. Even though it would be best for non-English speaking immigrants speak and understand English by learning it, I don’t think it’s a huge deal to anyone.
@9K4MVZFRepublican1yr1Y
I feel confused, but that's because I can't understand them. If I could understand them through technology or learning the language myself, I feel like I'd be able to feel more comfortable, even confident when I communicate with them.
I feel curious and amazed when I hear languages I don't understand, it shows how much of the world we don't know.
@9JXCD2F1yr1Y
If I hear a language I don't understand then I guess I don't understand it unless it is spoken to me or is some form of public announcement, I'm, probably not meant to be listening anyway and could probably classify as eavesdropping.
@9K9SRFS1yr1Y
Sometimes it can be frustrating, because you want to be able to communicate with everyone, I feel like schools should be required to teach English and Spanish in school.
@9K4XQ2H1yr1Y
I usually don't think much of it. I usually think "oh cool" and go about my day.
@9K3QBXD1yr1Y
i feel interested in teh launguage because its someting i mightve not heard before
@9JVNHV5Independent1yr1Y
I feel the same regardless of what language is spoken to me.
@9J9H26G1yr1Y
Intrigued and elated- America is a melting pot, baby
@9J7KXD4Independent1yr1Y
i feel bad because i know they're at A disadvantage as people here may treat them differently
@9K4F2321yr1Y
I think minorities should have the same rights once becoming citizens because they are also human just speaking a different way.
@9K3HG7GRepublican1yr1Y
i feel like it makes me and them very seperate becuase of that language barrier
@9JV4P29Republican1yr1Y
I am indifferent; each person has their own background and has the Constitutional right to speak in their first language even if it's not English. If it seems like they are talking about me, it can be frustrating to not understand what they're saying, but aside from this, its important everyone can speak freely or have opinions without being judged.
@9JWNB3X1yr1Y
Nothing, people should speak in whatever language they want
@9LM763Z1yr1Y
I feel just like any other person would. That feeling for me would be confusion but sometimes there is wonder and joy when I hear other languages because it helps me know that we are that country that brings people from all over the world to help them grow. I see many families today with different spoken languages and it makes me feel a fuzzy feelings knowing that they also let their children grow. C
@9K3HQM51yr1Y
I try my best to understand it, if it comes to Spanish, I might actually have some understanding of what their saying.
@9J7GCF61yr1Y
I don't particularly feel anything. I do not mind it at all.
@9K3GLVS1yr1Y
It makes me feel kind of weird because I don't understand that language.
