    If you re there for a week you learn nothing.
    Three months is a worthwhile time to learn at least something. But we are talking about tourists.

    It is simply annoying to step into a place, try to ask for something in english... Silent stare... try german... silent stare... try various hand gestures... silent stare... try danish in an annoyed voice... silent stare. By that time you are pretty convinced that at least once the intended person understood what you said but chose to not respond.
    Or better yet, when asking for directions (take your pick of language) you get a response in french. Now I can make out a few things in french, but directions? If I ask in english it is because I can't speak french. If you can't (or won't) speak english or make yourself clear, then just make it clear that you can't help.
    You may not care about war, but war cares about you!

    I don't hate the France, I just disagree with a lot of the decisions the government decides to make.
