When in France, I found it fascinating that the locals really appreciated me speaking their language but knew I wasn’t native. They often replied in English to help, but respected me speaking in their language. I’d ask in French, they’d reply in English and maybe confirm in French too. It was very wholesome, two people working together to understand and to respect. Entente cordiale you might say! 🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
