Except maybe for some "expats" in Spain, who whinge about the food or the locals speaking Spanish, and those who follow Ingerland and smash up bars in assorted countries fighting German or Italian fans

That is a small % of us. I’m fluent in Spanish, love the food and culture and been here (living inland) since 1976.

Good for you! In my experience few Brits (or Americans) manage a 2nd language, a key pillar for mind-broadening and truly understanding other cultures. Somehow, bizarrely, Anglo-American monolingualism seems to reinforce their sense of exceptionalist supremacy
