I’m French Canadian. A friend of mine lives in Paris. I go to Paris fairly often. When I’m there, I speak exclusively English to anyone I don’t know.
If I speak French, my god damn native tongue, they either make sure to tell me my accent is horrendous or they reply in German. In either case, they take this condescending tone… You know the one.
When I speak English, not only do I have the upper hand on the language, but they don’t know I can understand them perfectly. Win win for me.
Vous êtes chiants, les Parisiens.
