i once politely asked some middle-aged lady in Paris a question in English. She understood me perfectly fine and proceeded to give me detailed directions in french.
I'm still not sure what that was about.
(I'm very obviously not British or US-American, so that wasn't it.)
Maybe she could understand English but wasn’t good at speaking it? English pronunciation is kind of tricky. It doesn’t explain why she thought you would understand French, though.
