I assume I’m not the only one who has been in this situation. When you’re in the country you now live in its a simple question to answer but if I’m on holiday in a 3rd country and someone asks this I never know what to answer. If I say the UK then I’m correctly saying my Nationality and as an extension what language I can speak most proficiently but I don’t actually live there. Equally if I say Germany I’m correctly saying where I currently reside but if their reason for asking is for my Nationality then this is wrong and it leads people to wrong assumptions about what language I want things to be in (Tourist Guides etc). Alternatively I can always say “Well I’m British but I live in Germany” but this always seems long winded and like its too much information. So I want to know how you all answer this.

    I just simply answer where I am actually travel from to that country. Easy, and they will never get the answer they expected!
