Post Body

I am very white presenting but I need more practice speaking Spanish. In my day to day most people assume English and I have started just responding in Spanish if I can hear the accent- but I always feel like a jerk when I do- like is this just my own anxieties- or is it actually rude?

(My husband speaks Spanish and we do flip back and forth but we tend to fall back into English- i do not only talk to strangers lol)

Edit- I am in the US- I forgot to mention.

Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant I only speak Spanish, I probably don't fool anyone as if I was a native but usually the people there are more than willing to speak to me in Spanish and allow me to practice. If they don't then I just don't go back to that restaurant, there are a few restaurants near me that I feel actually find it endearing that I am putting the effort in to learn their language
