Last night I went out with some friends to a Peruvian restaurant. One of my friends is a native speaker, and another one is a learner like me. Our waitress started speaking to us in Spanish, but when I answered in Spanish, she immediately switched to English to ask any other questions. I don't understand why this keeps happening to me. I think I've got a pretty good level of Spanish. I would say that my non-native friend and I have around the same level. I try to speak Spanish with people, but I'm often met with "it's okay, we can speak English." It's kind of discouraging because this doesn't happen to my friend, and they're able to have full conversations with Spanish speakers.
