No idea the white guy in the corner could understand them 20 months ago

At the gym, no less, I caught the tail end of a conversation in the steam room. When I snuck in, some ladies were chattering away in Spanish about English only attitudes, or something like that.

Part of it was, “and then he told me, ‘you’ll have to learn English if you’re going to live in this country.’ Well, I have no intention of leaving…”

Then another guy came in and suddenly they dropped their conversation to about half-volume. snort What, am I the invisible gavacho or something? I was about to say “tienes razón”, because I believe in lingual exchange, but never got the chance.
