This is the kind of crap our youth are addicted too. Whining and crying over feelings 24/7.

She should have learned Arabic before going to France. They would have treated her better.

Good God, what a wimp. Here mom & dad should be ashamed.

I traveled internationally for two years and worked in 10 countries. I learned “beer” and “bathroom” in five languages. That was all I needed.

Well, the beret was a poor choice - but the French CAN be nasty.

I’m semi-fluent and when I overhear them talking about Americans I love to slap back.

She even bought a French hat. That’s not enough?

I guess they don’t have “Appuyez sur deux pour l’anglais,” on French phone trees.

It’s like those French have a different word for everything.

Not real good looking, either - despite the funny colored hat.

Years ago my dentist was from France.At that time I had never been but my parents had...and they hated it. I told my dentist about their hatred and he asked "did they travel outside of Paris?" and I said "no,they just stayed in Paris".

"Aha!",he said..."there's the problem. Even we Frenchmen hate Parisians"

I have to agree with her...about learning the language...hey...there’s an app for that! I was there late September for the WBC World Benchrest Championship. Luckily I saw only the range and about 2 blocks around the hotel. Taco place had menu with pics you could point at, and hotel staff spoke enough English to get by. Btw...it’s a lot easier to fly in and out of Charles de Gaulle with guns than anywhere in the US.

She just discovered what previous generations of travellers in France already knew. Many French people just don’t care.

Outside the big cities, I’m told, it’s a different story.

The French are snobs, it’s not really news.

The trick is you just have to try to speak French. And then look confused when they talk too fast. Then they’ll appreciate you at least made an effort and switch to English.

My father back in the 70s was in France for some reason, it was dark and he had never seen a traffic circle before..

Yes he went straight through it, fountain and all

He then always claimed that the French made really crappy cars.

Even though his rental Peugeot somehow survived
