Your Language Needs Some Spit And Polish

(I am on a trip with some fellow students from college in Ireland. A friend and I go into a small toy model shop with about three others inside already. I walk into the shop and owner makes eye contact.)

Me: “All right, how’s it going?”

Owner: *in Polish* “Część.” *’Hello’*

Me: *to friend* “Oh, my God, I forgot we weren’t at home!”
