I think it depends on the part of the country. In Florida, it’s more acceptable to hear people speak spanish but in the Southwest you may get dirty looks and people will act like you’re an illegal because of it.
Maybe because they think that they would be discriminated, personally, I would never stop speaking Spanish no matter where I go
.
Actually some just forget how to speak the language and english becomes their first language. For others, they were either brought here when they were very small, or they were just born here (I’m assuming you are from US); either way they adapt to the english language at a first language. However, I have yet known any spanish speaking person who is ashamed to speak spanish, unless they totally know very, very little and those that only know a little are most likely 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation.
Some people speak english better than spanish,they forget many spanish words.
I came to the USA when I was 12 and No, I’m not ashamed to speak in Spanish, on the contrary. It’s my native tongue and I absolutely love it.
When we move here, especially at a young age we don’t forget the language but our accent changes a little bit and sometimes some of the phrases we use change a little bit since we tend to say them in Spanish as we would in English. This doesn’t mean they are incorrect or that someone per say in Costa Rica wouldn’t understand us, but they would say the same phrase slightly different.
But back to your question, the only time I speak in English to a Spanish speaking person is if there’s somebody present that doesn’t speak the language, just out of respect.
Many Spanish-speakers believe that it is rude to speak the language in front of others who do not understand. Perhaps I am not the best person to answer this question, as I am American and learned Spanish as a second language. Personally, I am certainly not ashamed to speak Spanish. I learned it independently and I appreciate that I took the incentive to do so and shape my identity. Unless a Spanish speaker can to America at a young age, it is rather unlikely for him or her to forget the language (as they often move with their families). I currently live in South Texas and many people speak the language here. I have never experienced fear or anger from others for having spoken it, perhaps only confusion or annoyance for being inconsiderate.
