Just sharing the current call I am listening to.
The customer can speak straight English but she has an interpreter. She said she wants to speak to Spanish agent.
She does not have Spanish accent and can speak English fluently.
Or maybe she is comfortable talking in Spanish or maybe she is an American-Spanish.
How many languages can you speak?

@jobelbojel I learnt French at school and always enjoyed it. Now I'm working my way through the Duolingo exercises. I managed quite well when we were in France.

English is my mother tongue and now that I live in Israel for many years I speak Hebrew but not fluently. I speak with lots of mistakes. I used to speak better but do not use that much now so has gone downhill. I took French in High School but do not know it very well. Living in Israel I have heard many languages so have learned bits and pieces of other but not enough to make a conversation. For me languages are very hard to learn.

@Hannihar I would rather keep it myself if I am new to the country because I am afraid I won't understand the rest of the conversation.

Wow Hebrew is one of the languages that is difficult to learn. Back in the days, Spanish is part of school curriculum here.

Yes, Hebrew is very difficult to learn. I remember when I was first trying to learn it I would sit on the bus and hope no one would sit next to me and ask me questions. One day I just started to open my mouth but now I make lots of mistakes.

@jobelbojel Yes, most Americans can do that. There are a lot of Spanish people living here now. I can speak a little Spanish besides counting but not that much.

@Deepizzaguy I remember my former workmates who speak Chavacano. They were hired by the company because Chavacano is similar to Spanish. Chavacano is the Spanish in the Philippines.

Yes, maybe she (client) is more comfortable to speak with someone from Spanish department that's why she wishes to speak with one.
