Like everybody in France under 45 is fluent in English, and who the fuck wants to talk to an older European. Every single French colony without exception is phasing out or has phased out the use of French as France was such an awful colonial power. Did you know that Eclair is pronounced aey-clare? This does nothing for me. I guess some people want to read Les Miserables in the original Foot Mold Language, just like random people enjoy reading Ovid or Cicero in Catholic script.. And just like Latin, fuck that everything has genders and complicated conjugation.
I swear, the French teachers in school were trying to impart the vibe that if we know the French language, French women would have sex with us.
OP clearly never met a French person. Even if they can speak English, that doesn't mean they will do it just to conviniance a foreigner.

Problem is that they are assholes even if you try speaking but have an accent or aren't amazing. I also got yelled at in brussels, in a QUEER COMMUNITY SPACE, in the bathroom because I didn't speak french. Like this dude was yelling at me "In brussels we speak French not english" I just like put my head down and left. Just what the hell
That's when you pull out the "French must be eradicated"
