Woman Claims To Be Fluent In Swedish, Mortified When She Fails To Communicate With Actual Swede

It's super cool to be bilingual, but if you only speak English, that's also cool. We can't all have one parent from a foreign country, or be really good at picking up languages quickly. Apparently, a woman in a recent 'Am I The A$$hole?' thread didn't get the memo. OP, who is Swedish, talked about how excited he was when he discovered a friend of his girlfriend spoke Swedish because he's been out of his home country for way too long, and therefore rarely got the opportunity to speak it. When he tried to speak to her in Swedish at his GF's birthday dinner, he quickly discovered that she had no idea had to speak it other than a few words. Because she'd been telling all her friends she knew how to speak Swedish for ages, she was obviously embarrassed. However, that's definitely on her, not on him. Let's just not pretend we know how to speak other languages when we don't, alright? Alright, cool. Glad we're all on the same page.
