i would say no. well people can be generous on ya since youre a foreigner. but when you learn a foreign language, you are supposed to learn how you speak to a person you just met or you do not know and in that case people use polite forms even in Germany france and spain.

well if you are unsure about your language, just put 요 at the end of every sentence like
나 오늘 삼겹살 먹었어-impolite form
나 오늘 삼겹살 먹었어요-polite form
