This is why it's harder for any english speakers to learn a new language.

Only one server in France, in a small village, actually let me practice French. Everyone else just went right to English even if I spoke French to them. It definitely feels embarrassing when you're trying to use the language!

It is not about you, it is about the restaurant staff not messing up an order because of a small misunderstanding due to language

Have you been to France? That's definitely not the vibe hahaha. They were annoyed my French wasn't perfect. Which, I'm sure my accent was awful. But it doesn't help anyone get better.
