    It’s rude for spouses to have a private conversation? Would whispering be better? Would it be better if they hid in a cupboard where no one could see them?

      Yes, it’s generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

      It’s because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.

        Sure, if people suddenly switched languages and then laughed in my face, I would feel bad.

        But if it’s like the other comments in this post, and it’s a couple having a quick word about a private matter, I wouldn’t mind. It’s not like I should be a part of that conversation

          Tell me you’re insecure without saying you’re insecure.

      It is rude to intentionally speak in a language that the people around you don’t understand (especially if you’re doing so specifically because they don’t understand it), yes.
