Do you find it annoying when people attempt to speak your native language all broken, and they can't/refuse to speak engIish?

The other day I entered a gaming chat room to play some games in a server.

This server is in my native language, my native language's name is in the server's name.

So i joined a lobby and they were in the middle of a game. There were seven people. I noticed one of them wasnt a native speaker of my language but he was somewhat pulling his own weight in the games.

So the game starts and every time I had to interact with this person I'd just switch to English. And he kept telling me he doesn't speak English. But I just kept speaking english every time because I want to practice my English and also because I just want to get the idea through.

The guy kept getting frustrated with me because I kept speaking english but I can speak whatever language I want. He's not my boss hes not paying me so I dont have ti do what hes telling me to do.

Anyways since he wasnt paying me I have no obligation to speak the particular language and I wanted to Practice my English.
