Foreign Perspectives

That’s the rather peculiar comment of some Germans who stayed with us.

Since German is a distant relative to the English language, English is much easier to speak for them than French and therefore we always start off in English with any German guests (learning German is close to the top of our “to do” list at the moment). Once we recognise where guests come from we try to speak to them in the most appropriate language at our command and we’re very confused by the comment of these non-French speaking Germans that stayed with us a few weeks ago.

OK, sometimes people like to practice their French on us but these people admited to not speaking any French!
