One of my good friends/coworker turned roommate is German. This exact scenario happened with me and hubs. She lit up and said “you speak German?!”

I said nein. :(

This happened to me in college! A woman in the dining hall sneezed and I said "Gesundheit" She lit up and asked if I spoke it. I had to break the news I didn't. She seemed rather disappointed

I always feel bad when I see someone get excited thinking they found someone else speaking their mother tongue in a different country.

It’s just like another kind of homesickness. I absolutely understand that kind of excitement and let down.

For me it’s when I find another Nevadan and then they say they’re from Vegas when I’m from up north. lol
