“”they were all well spoken””

I saw a few of them come through a flight school where I worked in Southern CA years ago and they spoke beautiful English. One would call me at the office and give me his name and I told him it wasn’t necessary as I didn’t know anyone who spoke English as beautifully as he did and I always knew him from his voice. He was a super neat guy. He got his family out of Nigeria and moved to Canada.

There were others from Nigeria who you wouldn’t trust as far as you could throw them - LOL. Had a lot of students from other foreign countries as well but can’t say much for their manners - especially anyone from France. They were the rudest of all. I had a Saudi student apologize for the way a French student talked to me in the office one day. Sorry - for digressing!

You probably met French people who grew up in more metropolitan areas. My aunt used to travel to Paris frequently and always said, ‘They hate Americans’.

The French definitely have some ‘attitude’; but the people out in the country are very different from the more so-called ‘sophisticated’ ones. We’ve seen posts here on FR about French people still honoring, today, the American servicemen who aided them in WWII.
