"I wasn't clicking at you I said: Hi I hope you're doing well, do you want some beer? *In your language!*"
Which reminds me of a situation I was in... I don't like to assume people don't speak English based on their appearance so when I was working as a technician I was at a place I'm unfamiliar with and saw a group of people and heard them speaking Spanish, but I started with English.
"Hi! Do you know where the bathroom is?"
"No, no Ingles, no Ingles."
"Ok, donde estas el bano?"
"No Ingles, no Ingles..."
....but I'm speaking *your* language now! Lol

Yeah, but if the accent isn't right, it doesn't trigger your brain to realize it understands the words its hearing.
