классные люди говорят по-русски

I have fun surprising people by being able to speak multiple languages. My favorite response when asked "You speak Russian?" is "What, you don't?" I'd like to add "Cool people speak Russian" and want to make sure this online translation is going to be right and learn other similar responses that a native speaker might use.

"You speak Russian?" 

 

is "What, you don't?" - А что, вы разве не говорите?

 "Cool people speak Russian"  Крутые (люди) говорят по-русски.

This is very interesting. The singular for Dudes (чуваки) sounds very similar to a Star Wars movie character (чувакa)!

I always thought I was cool, but couldn't think why. But now I know! ;)

Cool in rather "крутые" in this context. I'd say, Все крутые люди/чуваки говорят по-русски. (All the cool people / cool cats speak Russian). As a response, you may want to try "А как же!" or even "A то!" (both vaguely translate as "Sure!"), said expressively. But to trick people, you should put some attention to pronunciation and intonation as well, as it's always important in colloquial Russian. Удачи :)
