My Friends Won't Speak English Anymore!  친구들이 이제 영어로는 말을 안 하려고 해!

[Power Dialog]

Felipe, why do you look so down in the mouth?

I went out with my friends last night and they would only speak Korean.

I thought they were all bilingual or even trilingual? What gives?

They said that since we're in Korea, we would only speak Korean from now on. And every time spoke English, they totally ignored me.

Sounds like you need a new crew to hang out with.

I understand their point, but it was harsh the way they enforced it.

Keep your chin up, you can always hang out with me and my friends.
