Maybe you look like one that is why they think you can speak the language. Here in the USA, some people thought I am Mexican :) There were times a Mexican approached me and asked something to me in Spanish. I couldn't understand anything so I just said, I do not speak Spanish (No Habla Español). The only words I utter are some Filipino words derived from Spanish language which we are using now.

I was in Taiwan for 4 years and only learned a handful of words [20 of them of are: twey, twey twey....hehe]. Just like Chinese, Taiwanese people expect foreigners to speak their language. It would have been nice if I learned more words but the school I was teaching in prohibited the students from speaking Mandarin.... Maybe next time...if there is a next time. Have a wonderful week.

Thais would approach us with their language. This was very common in the malls. Sometimes it is really irritating though can't blame them also. :) You remind me when we were in Bangkok.
