i mean i would not refuse anyone who speaks or wants to learn english. i have friends to help them with that (as best as i can, meaning helping practicing, not teaching). but idk, where i live there seems to be a certain type of person who wants to learn it, and they often tend to have some unreasonable expectations regarding how it will improve their lives. no judgment or anything, but i also try to learn a fucking language here (which turns out to be WAY more difficult than one might expect) and the more i hangout with english speakers the less i learn, because we just fall back to english. so over the years some kind of appreciation for people who simply have no interest in english seems to have emerged.
not really a trait, but the lack of interest or refusal to learn english is a huge plus.
Why?
Clearly you’re an English speaker of some sort

Yeah the other comment is kinda rude but I genuinely wanna know
Wait, you prefer someone who’s willfully ignorant and intentionality hampers their ability to communicate with most of the world?
Do you also prefer someone who proudly proclaims that they don’t read books?
for someone with such an interest in communicating and reading, youre pretty good with reading into stuff 😅
Why is it a plus for them to not want to learn English?
They answered in another post in the thread.

So maybe it’s not necessary for them, or maybe they prefer Español.
