Comment on Anon double-checks something important
savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoActually, when I was in Paris in high school, I had the opposite experience - I kept trying to speak French (which I could speak conventionally after 6 years of study), and many people would refuse to answer me in French, instead answering me in English.

It’s cuz people don’t want to suffer through a broken conversation. So if they speak english better than you speak french, they’ll switch to english.
Plus Paris is a super international city, it’s not the most “French” place in terms of language.
