• Do you know if you start a conversation in French, the French are more likely to answer your questions in English ?
• This is also one of the tips to travel in France.
• Many claim that the French  do not speak English and finding someone who speaks decent English in France is mission impossible. This stereotype is not true.
• It's a myth the French won't speak English. English is the standard language of tourism in Europe.
