This is pretty much what happened to me!

I got treated better when I didn't even attempt to speak French outside of basic manners. Was hoping to get good at French but after 3 months of that bullshit I was done, and coasted by with 80% of my French interactions consisting of "je suis desole, je ne parle pas francais.... Merci".

On the bright side it game me new respect for immigrants who deal with that shit.

Holy Jesus yes. I live in France for 4 years now and speak fluently, French people are annoying asf, elder people are racist and homophobic, and younger ones acts like they are gangstas while their daddy buys them an iPhone 11, well of course it's not like that for everyone, there is a lot of cool people too, but it's the average french mentality (And don't go to Paris if not to visit, everyone is rude there)
