Me studying French so ~~that I can refuse to speak it~~ I immediately get a response in English whenever I attempt to speak it
I am fully bilingual eng/fr, went to school in french, but have a particular regional Canadian accent. Whenever in France, everyone responds in English anyways. They don't like the accent at all. On my first trip to Paris, after ordering a beer at a bar in the latin quarter after checking into my hotel, an older woman sitting at the bar as a customer turned to me and said "Vous parlez mal". i.e. You speak badly. I'll never forget the horror in her eyes as I spoke.
It takes me about 15min before being able to understand the canadian accent and stop trying to recognize every words. That requires a lot of concentration to decipher each words. During my first meeting with Canadians, we had to switch back to English has it was easier to understand.
It's like when you talk to an old farmer lost in the middle of nowhere and you need subtitles to understand the words. That requires practice!
