Very true man. The same is true in China. If I were to just start talking to Chinese people in English, they may feel embarrassed or defensive. People don't want to lose face by not knowing what you're talking about so they won't want to talk to you. On the other hand, if you speak to them in Chinese (even super simple Chinese) they will be much more open to helping you and will praise your Chinese (even if it sucks).
