Real question for me is that how good french people are at speaking English? If I go there, I wouldn't be able to speak any French on day 1, so It would be nice if there is a decent percentage of people speaking English so that I get by until I learn Essential French.
- EnglishInFrance 10y agoWhen compared to a country that has high levels of English literacy such as the Netherlands, there's a major difference here. You will be able to get by just fine in Paris for things like restaurants and hotels, but as soon as you have to deal with the government in any fashion, you absolutely must speak French. In places other than Paris and the tourist areas of some major cities, it will be very difficult if you don't speak any French.

Mostly irrelevant unfortunately, because the French will expect you to speak French once you are in France. I've experienced this many times in Paris among French people I know can speak English well enough to have a conversation.
