The other thing that is rude is in a group speaking a language that one party cannot understand.
I remember once going out with some beers with an a German and French guy, and the Frech guy (who has an Irish mum and speaks good English) kept starting conversations in German and the German guy kept telling him off and saying to speak English.
I can speak some German, but not enough to keep up with a conversation after 8 beers...
I think English speakers are spoiled, as at least throughout Europe it is considered the main "business" language
