I am very, extremely annoyed. Language barriers have ruined one of my best friendships ever.
You see, I live in El Paso. It may be next to Mexico, but it's still part of AMERICA, alright? Well, you see, everyone speaks Spanish here. EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL except myself. This is my Mom's fault. (More reasons to be angry at her. >_>) Anyway, one of my best friends hangs out with this girl who speaks Spanish all the time. They converse in Spanish. Now, I sit right there and look at them like they're speaking Chinese, and my friend wonders why I'm annoyed all the time. Ugh. You know, I'm very tempted to throw her into a room of people who know English, but they speak German even in the presence of someone who doesn't understand. See how she likes it.
So what do you think? Do I have the right to be annoyed? Does my friend have a better reason?

I can understand that, but does the girl that your friend talks with only speak Spanish?
If so then you can't really blame her.

But if not then you have the best reason to be annoyed.
