They always would look at me like I was lying. LOL
Long ago when we lived in Utah for a couple of years multiple people tried to speak Spanish to my wife--a language that at the time she didn't know a single word of. They were surprised, but always quickly understood when I pointed out that she's Chinese, not Mexican. (At that time I did most of the speaking for her, at that point we still often carried the dictionary when we went out.)
