Pardon My English French
(I am traveling with my family on one of those whirlwind trips through Europe. I took a French class last summer, so when we are in France I am in charge of communication. We are at a cafe near our hotel where we are trying to get supper. This is my first attempt:)
Me: “Parlez vous anglais?”
Cashier: *questioning look*
Me: *more hesitantly* “Parlez vous anglais?”
Cashier: *blank stare*
Me: “Parlez vous English?”
Cashier: *with bright look and in perfect English* “Oh, you mean English!”
(I blush as everyone else laughs.)
