Learn French

Even though English is the most taught second language in the world, you can’t assume that everyone speaks it, let alone that everybody will be willing to speak English with you. If you have travelled a lot, you probably were lucky enough, as an English speaker to have found people speaking your tongue. Sometimes, native English speakers are happy to find other English speakers outside of their country; sometimes people who learn English as a second tongue are eager to meet native English speakers to practice and enjoy listening to their native accent. However, this does not always happen.

When taking French courses London people explain that they do so in order to travel to France. So you might be asking yourself – Do they learn a language every time they travel to a place where English is not spoken? – For the above mentioned reasons, the answer is no. It seems that people in France don’t like speaking English. They like England, and they do know how to speak the language – the French even secretly use a lot of English words in their day-to-day life such as ‘weekend’, ‘meeting’, ‘planning’, ‘PC’, etc. – but if you travel to France, don’t expect them to speak English to you. Their answer might be “We are in France. Here, we speak French”. The truth is that they consider it very rude if you assume that they will speak your language. Perhaps they also think that when they travel to an English speaking country, they don’t expect locals to speak French….and to be honest, this is a valid thought. In other words, to avoid an awkward encounter, if you are travelling to France, you should just learn the language, or at least the basics of it. Locals will regard you as a polite person if you at least try. If you seek to make French friends, this is the way to go.
