How do you feel when you hear languages you don't understand, and why do you think you feel that way?

Minority should not have more rights, there shuld be equality

Indifferent, people should be allowed to speak any language they want.

Indifferent, hearing different languages doesn't bother me as I am attempting to learn more languages myself

I understand the need for people to communicate in whatever language they are able and comfortable to. As long as someone is not trying to talk to me in a language I don’t understand, I don’t think about it too much.

Doesn't bother me but wish I could speak more languages

I honestly used to feel uncomfortable, but I was younger then, and I rarely watched movies or YouTube that had foreign people in them. I had no exposure. But I slowly started watching more diverse and inclusive media, and it did actually translate to a positive change in my life. I started feeling happy when I interacted with people from different backgrounds.

It’s their language. I can’t tell others how to talk.

When I hear a language I don't understand, I often feel comfortable as I come from a multicultural background. Often, I try my best to guess what was being said by reading their facial expressions and body language.

I believe that new coming minorities, should learn English, before they had come to Australia, because any police officer could think your planning to do something with your friend. Because of this, people hate minorities and newcomers, aka foreigners.

I don't feel anything beyond maybe curiosity about what they're saying

it makes people feel excluded and who knows what they could be saying

I am not concerned about different languages but a common language is important

I don’t care, it’s their own language and they have the right to speak it.

I don't mind some diversity of culture or thought. However, i think they should at least try to learn English.

Annoyed because we are in an English speaking country

I don't feel any kind of way. Nothing wrong with other languages.

I feel annoyed when more people are here who can’t even speak or understand English especially when they work in public service. I feel this way cause we speak English and so should the rest of society.

I have zero issues, I quite enjoy hearing them. Because I'm not a racist

I feel uncomfortable as I don't understand what is being said.

I love hearing languages I don't understand, because more cultural differences make the environment richer.

I feel rather interested because within each language holds a different and amazing world of culture and joy.

I don’t feel any different but I feel like if they want to come in they should learn the language

I feel fine, I think it would be beneficial for the person to learn English is a predominately English speaking country

Sometimes I wonder what they're saying but I also understand that maybe they're more comfortable speaking in their own language. As long as they can fluently speak English or have a good level of the English language then I don't really have an issue.

Please respect our country and learn basic language so they can communicate with English speaking person.

I'm not phased, it's just part of being human. We are a world of different cultures.

Completely fine because who cares what language other people speak? It's not my business.

I love hearing languages I don’t understand. Australia is multicultural and I’m proud of this.

I don't feel much, and I think it's good how immigrants add more diversity to our country.

I don't feel any way about it and i feel that way because cultures are going to mix along time.

It’s fine in a private setting, I respect other cultures and nationalities, however in work place environments, it should not be allowed.

I think that that is fine, but if they are illegally taking refuge here, then you can piss off.

If I ever notice a foreign language my reaction lands on the positive end as it serves as a reflection of the uniquely multicultural status of Australia in comparison with many other nations.

I feel lucky to have the freedom and access to the many languages of the world, right in my own backyard.

I think everyone has a right to speak whatever language they want and it doesn't bother me, just makes me wish I could understand their language and culture even more.

I feel proud to live in a multicultural country, because I like to learn about and experience different cultures.

I don't feel a particular way, as I respect others cultures and understand that they may not understand english either.
