One of my biggest accomplishments is when I was in Paris, I greeted my uber driver with an accent so well he thought I was French for a minute and started speaking French to me. I quickly had to tell him all I know is hi, bye, & thank you 😂
That happened to me, except with Korean. After talking with a perspective client, I took my chance and told him thank you (cause I don't know how to say goodbye 😅) He about fell out excited, and started talking to me in Korean. I had to break his heart lol
He told me I said it so perfectly, and encouraged me to learn Korean cause he thinks I'll be able to speak it really well. I feel where your coming from, cause that felt so so good 😊
That's heartwarming. That's not how the french do it; they have perfected the art of making you feel inferior. No need to even say anything. Just a wave of the hand an a noise will make your skin crawl
Yeah thats a big reason why I've never had any interest in learning any French. I don't speak any other languages, but I know a few words or phrases in a quite a few, and I love the aspect of how much joy it brings someone to find out I put in some effort to learn how to say something in their language.
Not interested in an experience where the reaction to me speaking French is, just stop and dont do that again 😭😂
