Americans (inhabitants/citizens of US) when people from other countries come to theirs : "These people need to speak English"

Americans when they visit other people's countries : "Why don't these people speak English???"

EDIT : By the context of this post it's blatantly obvious which definition of 'American' is being used lol, but I added an explanation above anyway. ๐Ÿ™„ And yes there is more than one definition of "american", usually context makes it clear which is being used for most people
