How do you feel when you hear languages you don't understand, and why do you think you feel that way?

I don't really mind when someone is speaking a different language with their friends or family but if they are trying to talk to me in a different language or have a convosation with me in a different langauge I would try my best to communicate with them.

I think its cool how much diversity there is, even in places where you wouldnt expect to hear other languages

i think that is important for the rights of everyone to be held to the same standard

I feel normal. I don't acre about people speakimg other languages

Canada is a very diverse country and different languages should be heard more often

I don't really give a **** , odds are theyre just having a normal conversation.

when I hear languages I don't understand I don't care because it's not something I much care about

I feel normal because it's fine for others to be speaking in other languages.

I'm feel indifferent to language I don't understand since the Lingua Franca is allowed for official use

I feel fascinated and also curious on what they are saying

I feel like I’d love to understand them more and would tec to make a device so there is no language barrier

As someone who constantly speaks a language that most of people don’t understand, i feel okay with it. I think it’s actually a sign of courage because they left their home country to come to a better place without even speaking the language, and even if they did speak english when they came, it’s a very hard decision to move countries.

It doesn’t matter if people speak a different language.

I love it! It makes me feel so comfrortable, happy and glad that people feel safe enough to speak their own languages. I think I feel this way because as a person of colour, I'd hate to not be able to speak my own different languages. Also, imagine people who don't speak English, it would be reallyy hard for them therefore negatively affecting Canada.

i dont care because i too speak a different language

I am never uncomfortable with other languages as i find them interesting.

If I hear someone in public speaking in a language I don't know, I simply don't care and ignore it.

I don't care when I hear a language I don't understand. People speak different languages, its not that deep. As for minority rights, there are enough of them. We are already equal in our rights.

I feel fine because I come from a place where they speak a different language

i dont really care i dont have negative feelings about it

You should know how to speak English if you’re in this country

I feel when its in spots where the english language is manditory then it I dont like it otherwise It doesnt matter to me .

I don't like it because Canada is a British and French nation.

I feel like I am not being included and that they may be saying stuff about me.

It leaves me very confused and hurt as I’m not sure what they are saying. Plus you come to this country to get a better life. English should be a priority to learn. I get it if your first language is a different country but when your in public it should be English so everyone can understand.

I do not care. If anything I’m trying to decipher what language it is solely out of my own curiosity.

I feel that is fine you should be able to express yourself in the country you in.

If I had an ap to hear what they’re saying it would be better

Sometimes I feel that they might be talking about me.

idk dude idgaf let them speak whatever they want lol

Because I don’t spend much time learning these languages.

"Hearing languages you don't understand can evoke various reactions, such as:
Curiosity: Interest in learning more about the language and culture.
Frustration: Difficulty communicating or feeling left out.

When I hear a language I don't understand I don't care. I feel this way because whatever they're talking about in their language isn't any of my business.

i don't care like say what you wanna say it doesn't matter to me. freedom of speech type shi

I feel indifferent to the use of languages I don't understand, I think I feel this way since I grew up in a family with multiple languages being used. However, I would prefer unity in the language spoken in Canada, at least provincially.

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.

Wait, they're not speaking English, I wish they were speaking English, then I could eavesdrop on them.

When I hear languages I don't understand, I feel as though anyone can speak their own language as part of freedom of expression, however, I am scared that certain undesirable parts of their cultures may impact Canadian culture.

I usually feel frustrated and confused when I hear languages I don't understand. This is because I want to understand what others are talking about while not being able to.

i don't feel anything, just curiosity as a bilingual myself.

Mostly I wonder what language it is, and if it's just French people talking too fast for me to understand. This is because I know French and I sometimes like to test my skills by mildly eavesdropping on French people's conversations.

I just think okay that's a different language. Ok. I feel that way cause its just another language and Canada has a bunch of different people so it doesn't really suprise me.

Nothing. Because it is the language that they want to use.

People should be able to speak whatever language they want

I don’t particularly care if I hear a foreign language within my country’s borders, however if I start to hear more foreign languages than English or French I will become disgruntled.

English and French should be the only languages spoken so that everyone can understand each other and so that we all have a similar identity and all assimilate equally.

I feel indifferent. Unless it is for work or something important, I am fine with it.

I feel out of the loop but enjoy the multiculturalism.

Don’t care, I come from a multilingual family, no one can control what language they grew up learning

I don't feel one way or the other about hearing languages I don't understand. I guess if anything I'm just a bit jealous that I can't speak or understand multiple languages.

I feel excluded when I hear languages I don't understand. I feel this way because being able to not understand what one may be saying about me can be frustrating, as the individual can be saying anything about me and I won't know.

I don't feel any particular way. People can converse in whatever language makes them comfortable.

To be honest, change is good. We need change, we need more culture in our society. The differences is what brings us together and brings colour into our life. People speaking different languages is amazing, it’s a form of communication that ties into different cultures. That’s why Toronto as a city is amazing due to its diversity. Everyone here is considered an immigrant or atleast most people are.

Me personally, when I hear other people speaking another language, I do not think anything of it. I understand that people have different cultures and may not speak the broadly spoken English language.

I feel confused and lost, I feel that way because I do not understand what they are saying

I get a warm feeling knowing my country also this amount of wide diveristé.

I don't mind at all. It helps bring more diversity and culture like how Europe has so many languages. As long as they are legal immigrants who know basic English (or French depending on the province) as well since its a universal language in the whole country especially when used for work, business and travel related ventures. But I don't mind at all when I hear foreign languages being spoken. More languages help enrich the country and make other people within that community feel like they're back at home within Canada rather than isolated and lonely due to your mother tongue not being spoken (like first language for them can be Mandarin, Punjabi, Pashto, Arabic, German, Russian, Spanish, etc).

I dont really feel anything unless they have az really bad accent when talking in enlish and i cant understand their english.

We are an English speaking country you should know it before you move here.

It's fine, but we should be able to communicate with each other via a common language (English)

I feel outnumbered especially if it is multiple people because if I don’t know that language that how do I not know that they are talking bad about me

I feel confused because I don’t understand what they’re saying

I just don't listen because I don't know what they are saying so why would I care.

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 okay when people are speaking differently, as it makes you interested in learning different languages.

I dont care that people can speak other languages i care if they're a danger to me

I feel normal, because soon I will understand the languages

I feel as if there was nothing different as they have the right to speak in their own language,even if one cannot understand them

I wonder why I had never heard it before, and wish I could learn to understand it

When I hear languages that I don't understand, I feel left out because I do not understand what the other person is saying. It also gives an awkward feeling between us as we are talking to each other without understanding each other.

I think it is good to hear other peoples languages and support different cultures

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 confused because I don't know what they are saying but its still their right to speak their language.

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.

When I hear a language I don’t know I sometimes get upset because I don’t know what there talking about and they could be saying something wrong

I feel happy to hear about diversity and I think we should be proud of having other worldviews to learn from

I think anyone should be free to speak whatever language they can speak.

I feel a sense of inclusivity in Canada. When I hear different languages and see different backgrounds it makes me feel more accepted in the cesspool of people.

It doesnt bother me if I hear languages I don't understand. I think if the person cant speak the primary language where they live, they should have a means to communicate available to them or have a translation function on their phone.

If they support the motherland, they may stay in her veins

i feel liek they can use any language they want. its their voicce.

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.

I really don't mind. Canada is a diverse country, and people should have the right to speak freely, no matter the language. It's nice hearing other languages and being exposed to other beautiful cultures.

Its fine, I feel okay because I don't care about they speak different language. I can use gestures to try understand it

Canada should be proud of its multicultural population

I would be confused because I wouldn't understand what they are talking about but it doesn't bother me at all.

It depends on the situation, if I’m at work and I can’t understand what my coworkers are talking about right in front of me then that can be an issue. But if I’m just on the train home and someones on the phone speaking their own language(s) then it may be less distracting, rather then when someone is speaking a language I understand.

i dont feel nothing, how would i be offended by other people speaking a different language because its normal

I don't feel any specific ay when I hear others speaking different languages. I feel neutral about the topic.

I feel happy knowing people are feeling confident with speaking their own language but i also feel scared for them because lots of people can make comments on that person and be made fun of just because the person was being themselves and speaking the language they would like to speak

don't really care its a free country with many cultures, races and ethnicitys so it doesnt bother me

I feel like our country is becoming more inclusive

I don’t mind it. This world is filled with diversity, if that makes you feel threatened, you need to revalue the way you look at the world. Hint: it’s not black and white.

It doesnt affect me because I understand that people have different cultures and everybody should have to right to express themselve within a resonable level of harm.

I feel like it's okay for people to speak their language. There should be no restriction towards speaking your own language.

I feel fine. Poeropl efeel secure and safe in a new environment and keep in touch to their anserttey.

I feel uncomfortable and feel that my country should feel comfortable
