Long story short, I work part time at a restaurant and my boss( ~50F) who is actually pretty chill with me, like we joke around with her about she being old asf and we call her a witch here and there in all of our languages (she knows and laughs). I am learning German so I try to speak almost always in German at the work place. For some reason when she scolded me for something I tried to exclaim quite loudly for something she thought I forgot and started explaining myself like “Alter!!, Ich hab schon gemacht…”. She seemed a little annoyed with what I said and went away repeating “Aha, alter alter”. Now it can be she is amused that I used a new word, or it can genuinely be that she was mildly offended. (There was a time I said “ja ja” to her and she acted the same and later explained that is rude). Welp, I don’t know. Maybe I am just overthinking haha. While yall are at it, I also was wondering how much learning German by speaking to colleagues at work may help?…
