I'm French and foreign languages are one of my hobbies. I'm proficient in English and Spanish. I can at a lower level speak some Russian, German, Czech, and Italian.

Imho the fault lies in our education system which puts a heavy accent on STEM studies and tends to treat anything outside of that as lesser subjects.

Also from anecdotal evidence the younger generations are quite better than the older ones.

Exactly how heavy is the accent? And are we talking parisian or quebecois?

I stayed at an AirBnb let by a lovely couple a few years back. It's mostly a meme with just a kernel of anecdotal truth.
