Why Hate France??

[Soulforged]

You find english pretty?

Of course I do, particulary in songs, even raps songs where I understand little of what is said (though for many people the less they get of the song the more they like it).

But if you want to be known as a land of unhelpful pr*cks, go on pretending that "je ne comprend pas.."

This is not exclusive of the french is just common sense. If you go to a country where at least half of the people speak only one language then the odds of finding one that speaks yours is 1 on 1. You can't spect for every french to speak english, or viceversa.
Here for example, if you ever come, be careful of trying to buy something in centric areas and comercial centers, only knowing spanish, you've to learn the typical language of Argentina and specially of Buenos Aires, if not then get prepared to get blackmailed and other things, many traders like to do that to strangers.
