I personally find it hilarious when people have slanderous conversations en español, thinking that none of the non-hispanic people in the vicinity understand them.
Están equivocados. Lo aprendí como segunda lengua cuando mi hermano se casó, y agregamos venezolanos a la familia lol.
It’s adorable that someone world think that the fourth most widely-spoken language on the planet is a secret code that no one in public would possibly have a hope of comprehending 😆

Even if someone doesn’t know a language initially, they aren’t secret codes! Anyone can get a language learning app on their phone and practice it until they know enough to follow a conversation.
😂 especialmente en los estados unidos, solo hablaba español con mis amigos pq el maestro no lo entendía.
me recuerda a alguien en chicago hablando en polaco a pesar de que muchos polacos viven allí.
It’s like the kids who would learn basic sign language to talk to each other across the classroom.
I knew two girls who learned sign language just to gossip during class
A good number of years ago, I took a community college sign language class with a coworker so we could chat during meetings. It was fun, and more so because some of the others in the class were medical staff at a regional youth detention facility of some sort who specifically wanted to learn some of the “spicier” words so they could know what was being said to/about them by deaf teens and understand descriptions of physical needs. Definitely vocabulary not in the usual intro curriculum.
I’ve seen girls in high school do that
I went to an English speaking high school for a while being a native Dutch speaker. Sadly the teachers there were very aware of the Dutch students and would sternly bit politely ask to keep it in English. Now that I’m in the real world I use Dutch as a private language quite often.
Yeah always be careful with that. I worked with a White guy that grew up in a Chinese family (adopted) . We were in a restaurant in the Asian part of Seattle. Well according to him they were talking bad about us the whole time. White this Black that for like the whole hour we were there. Then as we are getting the check he spoke in perfect Mandarin no accent or anything. You could have heard a pindrop and the look on their faces. It was epic.
that stinks that the teachers were aware of them 😓
unfortunately, i speak a very common language: spanish, but i also know portuguese from my dad, which i literally don’t know anyone else in my area who speaks it.
i speak spanish, a very common language in the us. most of my friends were also spanish speakers, so we did this a lot, especially if we were discussing something personal between us, dirty, or talking about another teacher.
obviously, we didn’t do this around a spanish teacher or a spanish-speaking one, but we did this a lot most of the time.
i was usually the teacher’s pet and they would ask me what you guys said, and i would only tell them the truth if i liked the teacher. lol
😂 do you speak spanish?
i’m an american; so it’s more accurate to call it spanglish. lol
bueno, ¿cómo estás hoy?
estoy good ahora, y you? lol
jajaja estoy bien!

no. not many people spoke my native tongue.
when i finally did move and found more people speaking the language, we would speak our language not to hide from the teacher but just because it was more comfortable
that makes a lot of sense, what language was it?
portuguese. i was in the midwest as a child but moved to southern florida in the 2nd half of high school
ooooohhh. falo português
quando estava no ensino médio, não conheci ninguém que falasse português
as únicas pessoas que conheço que falam português são meu pai e meus amigos online do brasil
I fancied the opportunity, but there were no other speakers of the language at my school.
what’s your language?
01000010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001
66 105 110 97 114 121
A=65, and a=97, you guess the rest
Me and my sibling were tired of my mom eavesdropping whenever so we learned another language to communicate between us. It would drive her crazy but she never bothered to learn to speak said language, so that’s on her.
what language was it?
German
A lot. Indonesian is the world’s biggest trilinguist country.
People usually speaks their local languages (there are 700+ of them), Indonesian, and other foreign language.
In my class alone there are probably 8 languages spoken by the student (usually Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, Banjarese, Balinese, Indonesian, Chinese, Madurese, and so on), so they can just gossiping about things and the teacher or friends wouldn’t know anything.
Extremely fitting user name
Nice observation!
Never did that on purpose.
In fact it wouldn’t even had occurred to me to try to do that speaking spanish - The school district I went to growing up is about 60% hispanic so most of the teachers knew at least some spanish.
Kind of, me and the other commo guys used a Morse code network to talk shit about our leadership in Iraq. Even when they were in the room, using ancient US military tech.
The teachers also knew the language
When we about 10 my friend and I learnt to speak backslang for this very purpose.
Incredibly, it turned out that the teacher had learnt how to speak it too.
When I was at school (UK) there was a German girl and a Swiss girl talking in German and one of them said “Scheiser” really loudly, the teacher turnes and glared at them and slowly they realised why and had to apologise to the teacher, as they hadn’t really thought that while he couldn’t understand, he still knew the swear words!
Wasn’t a big deal was just funny and everyone laughed (incl teacher), needless to say they were a bit more cautious after that.
Well, I didn’t, as the teachers all spoke both my languages (Norwegian and English), but my kids do it all the time, with me and at school: they go to an international school (English/French) and often use Norwegian or Bosnian or even smatterings of Arabic just to mix things up, depending of who they want to understand.
Som en hvis far er norsk, jeg elsker å se mer folk på Lemmy som snakker språket (jeg lærer fortsatt 😅)
Jeg kan snakke norsk på ut- og innpust, jeg:)
du kommer fra norge, jeg antar?
men det er så kult!! Hvordan lærte de bosnisk og arabisk?
Ja, men har bodd litt rundt i verden. Barna har lært bishops av sin bosnisk-norske mor og arabisk da vi bodde i Marokko 2018-2021 (men alt glemt mye).
Ooooooooo!!
det er veldig kult, jeg har bare bodd i USA 😅
