I know a lot of people who don't speak German as their native language and who don't or barely speak English, so I'd rather speak in German with them, or French with some of them.

Learning Danish at the moment. The language is fun but the pronunciation is so cursed, God help me. German pronunciation was a walk in the park. So glad they all speak fluent English.

Try Norwegian instead. Basically the same language, but without the potato shoved down your throat!

I'm from Marseille so not strictly speaking french but if you speak my language I'm going to be delighted and will let you know. France should really be sliced in half at around waist height

I don't think I agree with Spain unless you are in Barcelona and managed to say a few words in Catalán.

In blue countries people will make a point of correcting your mistakes
