So, what language do you speak?


When I am abroad one of the first questions people usually ask is: “where are you from?”. The follow up question is often: “so what language do you speak in Poland?”. Many people are surprised to learn that we do not speak English in Poland and instead have our own language – Polish. I used to be a little annoyed by that, but now I don't mind.
Today I met a girl from Equator and one of the first questions I asked her was: “so what language do you speak in Equator?”.
