      You thought filming him and laughing at him was a positive communication style?

      Just imagine if white people were filming and giggling talking to a black person speaking perfect English. 🤷‍♀️
      Whilst it's great to swap stories with people on trains, I don't see this as a particularly positive communication style.
      The white guy is probably used to it, But it's a shame.
      I'm sure he loves practicing a language which is clearly very dear to him,
      if not his mother tongue,
      But I bet it's boring being giggled at and filmed like your some performing circus monkey.
      My white French boyfriend could speak Africans, because he grew up on the Ivory Coast.
      It was no different for him to speak it than his black AND white classmates. 🤷‍♀️
      When he spoke to Spanish people he spoke in Spanish, French with the French and English with the English.
      If he was lucky enough to meet someone who could speak Africans he would speak that too.

    I taught Peace Corps Volunteers/ British Volunteers Overseas as well as Diplomats for several years in Gambia & Senegal before immigrating to the States in 1990. Westerners ( once the grammar structure is understood ) have the advantage of early education and higher learning skills / research that makes it easier to learn a foreign language. It takes us in Africa several years to speak a western language because of the many academic disciplines/courses/standards as oppose to majoring in one particular language to communicate. Adult learning is also quite advantage , however I have seen children of diplomats who fluently spoke months after getting immersed in a local language(s) in Africa. So is nothing new .
