Dunno... I'm from Belgium and I speak fluent French and oh my god how rude they can be in the south... Even tough we could perfectly understand each other, just because some words may be a bit different I had one couple In a super market talk me out to learn to speak French?
I was so shocked I couldn't even think straight anymore. They have to much pride in their language / culture... The Frenchies are the worst people I have ever met, even Germans who are supposed to be cold and non welcomed where way more friendlier.
Just a bad experience In the South of France I guess?
That may be a southern France thing. My wife had a similar experience there. She was trying to buy tickets and struggling over the French words. A schoolteacher with a bunch of kids in tow pushed past her, got tickets for her school kids, then turned to my wife and said in English, "Your French is terrible. Maybe you just shouldn't speak at all."
My wife was so mortified, she didn't speak to anyone else the rest of that trip.
You come to me and speak your vulgar filthy Latin? Learn proper Latin you fuck.
