I gotta brush up on my French if we're gonna go to Paris..... (it's so rusty, blugh)

@Antifreeze France is famously a country where you need to at least attempt to speak the language. I took 4 years of French in secondary school, so I can certainly speak enough to buy a sandwich or find the bathroom, but I'm slow and my syntax is bad, and I get anxious about using it.

@angrboda @Antifreeze everyone in Paris was super nice to me when I used my trashy Canadian French so you’ll probably be okay if you just try

@fineursine ha, unfortunately no - I know some passable German, but as I was saying to Ang yesterday, that barely counts because everyone in Germany universally speaks English, and very politely interrupts your attempts at German to go with the more efficient communication
