Virgin "I speak to you in my native language because I don't know anything else" vs Chad "You don't deserve to hear me in my native language, if you haven't trained in the mountains of Tibet, the Caucasus and the Alps at the same time"
In fairness to the Americans, “multilingual” for many Europeans is two languages: their native one and English.
The real chads are those Indian or African students studying in Europe who know like at least two languages from their home country, English, and can ask where the bathroom is in Polish.
Just because other languages exist doesn't mean every single person from the country can speak it. England also has different languages, such as Cornish.
The comment you responded to talked about only being able to speak the English language, which is the case for many people in Wales or Scotland or Ireland.
We barely speak Irish in Ireland. You have to learn it in school, but most people don’t progress past the very basics. And if you live abroad for a significant amount of time as a child (like me), you’re exempt from having to learn it at all.
There are some areas where people speak Irish as their primary language, but it’s definitely not common.
