Americans (inhabitants/citizens of US) when people from other countries come to theirs : "These people need to speak English"

Americans when they visit other people's countries : "Why don't these people speak English???"

EDIT : By the context of this post it's blatantly obvious which definition of 'American' is being used lol, but I added an explanation above anyway. ๐Ÿ™„ And yes there is more than one definition of "american", usually context makes it clear which is being used for most people

Well he said 'those particular two' .. I know bilingual means 2 languages, but the post doesn't mention a particular two๐Ÿ˜….... Unless he got caught up in the random tangent conversation below about what is an American and Americans speaking Spanish... Which was really a diversion
