I find most people enjoy when you at least make the attempt. I know very few things in Thai, but every time I greet someone in Thai and say thank you in Thai (we’re in Thailand currently), I love the look on their face. So few people seem to bother. It makes such a huge difference!

During my 1st visit to Paris, my accent was a horrible mix of French and Spanish. In one restaurant, she started speaking to me in Spanish, and I thought “Works for me!” LOL

Thanks! I’m so glad to hear other people have had similar positive experiences.

She started speaking english in a rude manner to me while i was practicing my french, english is not my first language. oh well.. i replied in spanish and smiled..

I’ve met quite a few French, although the Quebec kind, and they’ve all been super nice.

Some in Paris, particularly, are really put off by people who don’t try to learn the language. I’m glad he warmed up to you when he realized you weren’t just a lazy Brit or American. 🙂

I have heard of this before but I do not wish to say anything as France is a great place. I have been to Paris once and I wanted some directions. I asked a man in English and was given a cold response in English that he do not speak English. When I said something in Hindi, he quickly learnt I was from India and then he talked to me in English. Amazing place, love the French.

And that was how it was explained to me about New Yorker’s as well. Interesting correlation there.
