I think I speak english fluently and so do you, I suspect. Does that mean I will tell you thoughts that are in my mind? Just because I think you are an idiot and a jerk in my head doesn't mean I will tell you so. The wife's boss is a prime example. Jerk First Class. Clueless moron too. People don't tell her that.

Yes but their english speaking ability, by and large, is very poor. If you speak to them in english, they will say what they are able to say, not what they want to say.
When you speak their language, they can say whatever is on their mind, especially when they're drunk. And believe me, for about the last 3 1/2 years I lived there, I went out drinking with my co-workers nearly every night.
