I am not armed with cliche stereotypes. It's just fact that most of the population in France does not like to speak English....which is fine. Like I said, French is beautiful and I'm learning it. No need to attack. Or I'll steal your buret and hit you with the baguette I buy while wearing a striped shirt stroking my mustache and carrying a bag of bon bons and croissants after I finish my meal at a cafe. Oui?

Pathetic Becca! You have NO idea about the country and the wonderful people who live there. Have fun, no doubt you will be back on here in a few months as one of the "arent all French people rude" brigade. French people love to talk with you in English UNLESS you give very good reason to be disliked. The standard of English language skills always amazes me here. And what sort of music? You may be surprised to know that French people have the intelligence to do every type from classical to hip-hop and metal. I reccommend MC Solaar and IAM personally.

Why don't you cancel your trip now?

where do you get your facts- Fox news? have you ever BEEN to france?

If y'all can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. If I didn't like France so much, why would I go there, much less learn the language? I was just responding to the first post. I guess I need to be more politically correct in saying French don't like to speak English. I've been there twice on short trips, and to my experience, they don't. My family also hosted a French student in University here. I am plenty familiar; I am not a francophobe, nor an ignorant snot. I know there are people there who are amazing. I was just responding to the first post as a joke. No one seems to understand my sarcasm- my apologies. I look forward to staying in France and I'll work on my political correctness and choice of words.

P.S. No, I don't watch Fox news. I watch the Colbert Report. More accurate, no? (That is also sarcasm, although I do enjoy it). I watch CNN and I'm proud to say I am no fundamentalist.

As I said, what sort of music?

Don't feed the troll.

No you don't. What you need is a better grasp on reality. That has nothing to do with being politically correct. As someone who visits France frequently and likes the opportunity to practice my once fluent French, I can hardly open my mouth without someone wanting to practice their English on me. Get real and stop spouting lazy, clichéd stereotypes - they're offensive.
