I’m American in the middle of the country and I’m liable to greet you in any of like half a dozen languages. I’m the weird guy at work.
I only speak English fluently but I’ve picked up a lot.
I also prefer English to American English but not in all contexts. Like, have you seen how the English write maneuver? I could never. (I can spell it, but I can’t wrap my mind around that spelling.) (My iPhone changes everything to American English though.)
I believe awareness and immersion in multiple cultures, even if it’s just one you favor, it will make a person that much more interesting.
