Embarassment of the egocentric use of English language in Poland! [20]
It was those native speakers who spoke SO loudly, just to try to impress people by the fact that they speak English!
I'm somewhat confused.....when you say native speakers, are you talking about natives of Poland who speak English, or actual native English speakers?
If it is native English speakers you are refering to, I doubt they were speaking loud to impress people.....probably just the way they talk normally.....I'm an American, and I never understood the stereotype of the "loud American" until I was sitting in Luton Airport, waiting on my flight to Gdansk.....there were 2 American girls talking about their plans for when they arrive in Scotland.....their voices carried a long way, but I think it's just their natural voices....may not be pleasant, but I don't think loud speaking is due to wanting to impress.
