This feels like French propaganda to deflect from how rude they tend to be if you don't speak French

I speak French until they have enough of me butchering their language with my Jersey (New) accent. Bon Joor, je voo le pan. They beg me to stop and I keep going. Jaim vo d-nay. Mare C bo coo. They thank me for leaving.

This was our favorite thing to do in my HS Japanese class. I still remember "skydiving": skah-daaaah-ben-goo.

Lean into it. Channel your inner Peggy Hill and repeat this phrase: Jay parlay fran-says tray bee-in. Jay-tude on lay-cole quart ons.

They will beg you to switch back to English

I will continue to maintain a laissez faire attitude towards French language.
