People that have lived in France for years and speak perfect French told me that when they try to order something in French the waiters just look at at them with contempt and respond in English. It's not you, it's them.
I'm French-Canadian. My native language is French, I spoke French at home growing up and the entirety of my education was in French.
When I've visited Paris, I had people switching to English despite me speaking exclusively in French to them.
It's so weird because I NEVER have this issue in France. I grew up in Ottawa, went to French immersion in public school (therefore far from native speaker level), haven't even lived in Canada for over 15 years now but the last two times I visited France they were just happy to me in French. There was just one time a baker offered to take my order in English and I asked if I could practice my French and he gladly obliged.
I dunno. Are they maybe way more lenient when dealing with Asians?
I mean, I'm sure they have an accent, but in America you'd be considered racist for disparaging someone over that.
Maybe that's the cultural disconnect.
Wut?
I have never heard of that happening like ever, with the exception being tourist places in Paris, where there are 99% of non natives because if you're not a tourist you stay out of those places (paris is littered with fantastic restaurants).
