Just finished my bicycle tour in France. Went with my son through Pyrenees and Alps down to C๔te d'Azur. Nether of us speak French. In many occasions I had to stop and ask the directions in the mountains. I felt like some people can speak English but refuse to. I can respect opinion to learn language of the county your're visiting though. เ votre sant้

That is a not very French attitude and I deeply respect that!!
I also respect the French people like their language, it’s just so difficult for the tourists to learn :-) Just drove with my wife from Alsace to Puerto Banuz and the scenery in France is just spectacular... Super cool watch btw!!!!! It is classy and beautiful!! |

Personally I always saw myself as a kind of English missionary, spreading 'the word'
to our continental cousins, whenever we toured through France. Lets face it, they're all going to have to speak it soon enough. Perhaps we should name the date when the whole world has to start speaking only 'The Queen's English'. Might I respectfully suggest, 8am next Wednesday? Agr้able montre-bracelet, mon amie! |

The European Commission have just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's government conceded that English spelling had some roomf or improvement and has accepted a five year phase in plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with the "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away. By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a realy sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand each ozer ZE DREAM VIL FINALI KUM TRU! |

Honestly though, isn't English the standard language of pilots worldwide? As much as you may love your native language, I don't think it's hurts to learn the modern "common language" (different from "most spoken" which is probably Chinese I would imagine). What bothers me about SOME French people is that they get snarky about you speaking English (as a tourist...the horror!) but then get really offended when you TRY to speak French because they feel you are butchering their language....I mean come on... |

That's a classic, Mon.
Haven't seen it for decades. Gave me a good laugh.
