I've an Italian roommate who doesn't speak English or Spanish. He speaks to us in a pigeon of Spanish and Italian depending on how lazy he's feeling. He speaks to me almost exclusively in Italian because I can understand him just about perfectly, but he speaks to other roommates in Spanish. It is frustrating.

Just look at him blankly when he speaks Italian to you. Then speak to him very, very quickly in English. He'll soon get the message.

Haha.... don't think it would work, but maybe I'll try it. He is nice enough, and it isn't like I want to snub him, which speaking to him in English would do..... but it drives me nuts!!! I'm moving out soon enough.

Oh and by the way Rowena speaks Welsh... so if you want to speak Welsh, or learn to, you should talk to her. (She's my friend with whom we went to Barbican.)
