For what is worth, it's true of all languages if you are a native English speaker - everyone wants to improve their English, and for them it's tiring trying to make sense of your attempts at speaking their language as you are learning.
Best thing is to pretend you are Finnish or Macedonian or something and say you don't speak English at all!

- tom_mellior 10y ago> everyone wants to improve their English Your point is certainly valid for many people in many places, but in France I find it to be mostly false. Most people, even in computer science, will rather have me butcher French than switch to butchering English themselves.
- gotofritz 10y agoOh yeah, the French are, shall we say, "special"...
