I feel unbothered to hear other individuals in society communicate in a language I do not understand. Mainly because it is not my business, and I also have a minority language that I use to communicate with people from my culture.
I feel happy because citizens get to communicate with others in their preferred language rather than just speaking in English with others.
When I hear another language I don't understand, my first reaction is what language this person is speaking. I think I feel this way because I'm a curious person.
I feel intrigued to know what is being talked about. I think I feel that way because I'm naturally interested in languages, and I'm also a very curious person.
I feel indifferent. Unless it is for work or something important, I am fine with it.
It's fine, but we should be able to communicate with each other via a common language (English)
@9LMPT7512mos12MO
I feel confused because I don’t understand what they’re saying
When I hear a different language that I don't understand, in a way I do feel a nit left out especially if they can all speak English but I do understand and sympathize with speaking your home countries language should be a right of their own. This was an outdated view since I go to a school where all different languages are spoken so it's normal to me now
I feel weird that they are talking about something that I don't understand, and I start thinking how can they understand that I don't.
I feel akward since I am in a English speaking country and they are not speaking the language they should be speaking here.
When i hear people talking in a different language i dont think of them at all because its none of my business and everyone lives their own lives and i dont have to have an opinion in what they do and say as long as they leave me alone and let me live.

I find myself interested in the language but sad i cannot communicate in it. I love languages.
I think anyone should be free to speak whatever language they can speak.
@9K7SXGF1yr1Y
Canada is a place for Canadians what makes us unique is not how many countries have the cultural districts and restaurants in our country but our unique history and culture which no other country has. And as well as unique people which as well can only be found in large numbers and as a majority in Canada. If Canadians are not the majority there will be no such things as Canadians or Canada.
Its fine, I feel okay because I don't care about they speak different language. I can use gestures to try understand it
@9K5WZFM1yr1Y
i dont feel nothing, how would i be offended by other people speaking a different language because its normal
I feel like our country is becoming more inclusive
I am indifferent because I mind my own business. If someone speaks to me and wants me to understand then I am confident they will engage with me in English or French.

***** i don't give a **** its a country where people move in at will i don't give a **** .
I feel kind of left out or isolated but not in an extreme way because nobody is the same.
@9J7F3NM1yr1Y
It doesn't matter because they should always speak whatever they want.
I feel very confused when I hear languages I don’t understand. The reason why I feel this way is because I am not familiar with it.
@9K645J61yr1Y
there should be no problem at all people cant control that and people cant have a say over this
I feel fine because its thier language and I have no problem with it as long as it is good.
I don’t care if people speak another language, it really doesn’t matter if someone can’t or is not comfortable speaking are national languages
@9K4H6WC1yr1Y
I don't really feel anything when I hear a different language that I don't speak being spoken. It's kind of cool hearing how other people communicate. I once didn't know any English and only spoke Spanish so I know what it feels like not speaking English and knowing others are judging me. I know Spanish can sound odd to others sometimes especially with all the accents it comes with but it doesn't bother me whatsoever Canada is a country of multicultural people and it strives from it's diversity.
I feel nothing as its completely normal, Canada is incredibly multicultural and I think we should support taht
I feel weird but I know it’s apart of culture and it’s probably because I grew up only knowing English
I don’t think much of it, it’s just harder to communicate with someone and connect with them. However i’m not bothered at all
@9JZ8DZ41yr1Y
It doesn't bother me to hear other languages. It's been apart of my entire 43 years on this planet. I grew up in a small diverse town in Northern British Columbia, Kitimat, and many immigrants from all over lived there. I took French from grades 1-9 and even Spanish in highschool.
I don't feel anything, hearing different languages doesn't bother me.
I feel normal because I am an immigrant myself. Therefore it does not make me feel uncomfortable.
I think it's really cool to think that Canada has so many cultures in it. And when people speak their own language, their expressing their selves.
I believe a person has a right to speak their own language but they should learn to speak English if they want to live in Canada
I feel happy to hear diversity and I think we should be proud of having other worldviews to learn from

I am not too bothered by hearing languages i dont understand. I understand they are speaking their native language and its non of my business.
I think it is important to learn official languages in Canada such as English and French to make communication easier but I have no bias towards someone who can't, but I would encourage learning
@9JVLC3F1yr1Y
I don't feel left alone knowing there's another person who can speak another language
I am friends with many french people birng a non-french speaker myself so I'am ok with it.
I quite enjoy listening to other languages, they sound prettier than english, and flow better. I don't know why I feel this way.
@9JWKXND1yr1Y
I dont care, speak whatever you re comfortable with. so what if i cant eavesdrop
@9JVR75X1yr1Y
I think its intresting to hear different languages and makes me want to learn about the culture.
what do you mean how do i feel? i don't understand them so i don't feel a certain way about it
I feel unheard and left out, I feel that way because they are communicating in a way i cannot understand
