How can I start a conversation in Spanish with a stranger? Is it appropriate to do so? I'd really like to practice my spoken spanish, and I know that the people that I already speak it with "dumb down" their spanish for me. Would it be considered strange or rude to speak to a stranger in Spanish (assuming I've already determined that they speak Spanish!) What if they've already addressed me in English? The only place I feel comfortable responding in spanish right now is the Mexican restaurant, and I'm starting to get sick of enchiladas! I know there's much more to the Spanish-speaking world than cheap taquerias!!! How can i be more confident to approach people in Spanish? I don't want to be viewed as rude or patronizing... Sigh....I should know by now that wanting to be fluent in a second language instantly flags me as some sort of renegade, or illegal, or something...I'm not asking if they should be forced to speak English, I'm asking if I can speak Spanish with them. It's much cheaper to find people in my area to converse with than it is to fly to, say, South America. And for those people who were confused, I already KNOW English - in fact they pay me money to teach it to other people. I'm relatively fluent in Spanish, I just feel like I could use more practice and don't want to lose what I already know.
