As far as I know they don't have weak english skills, in fact most French lads I know are pretty good at it, but I noticed that for some reasons most of them just straight out refuse to speak it, this odd behaviour is particulary strong in online gaming for exemple, where I often see French on english servers speak in their language only, and tell people to fuck off and insults them in French when asked to speak english instead (this doesn't always happens of course, being an asshole isn't an exclusive French gene).
Now everyone is free to speak whichever language they want, only some anomalies (Saw some guy not too long ago who just bursted out insults unprovoked, which is funny because I was the only one who knew what the fuck he was actually saying), but if you're going to places, websites, or servers where the used language is mainly English, then you should make the effort if only out of common courtesy.

For my part I pretty much just learned it on my own, and I vastly prefer it to French, I find it more pleasant to hear and speak, French can also be (in my opinion) needlessly complicated at times.
I'm still really bad at it though

French people are annoying when it comes to language.

I work in a hotel, so I speak basic french. Basic, just enough to answer simple questions and tell them where their room is.

Once they realize I speak french they start talking faster and using uncommon words, and they ask A LOT of stupid questions. If I tell them I didnt understand them and/or ask them to repeat they start complaining.

Besides, only retarded plebs are unable to master written French. It's useful in a way, since it allows to very quickly and easily segregate between retards (incidentally, >90% of francophone dindus and durkas fall in this category) and humans (i.e. those able to write properly).

I'm Spanish, speak 4 languages fluently and have travelled a lot for working purposes. Here are my feelings:

.- Brits are incapable of talking any other civilized language cause they believe everyone should speak theirs. They will learn some shitty dialect quite willingly such as Thai, Urdu or Afghani, but rarely French or Spanish. Surely not German or Italian.

2.- French don't talk shit because of some guttural deformity. Also because they keep believing the francophony is something real, without realizing their language is dying slowly. Not even decently spoken by most people in France, erradicated at international level and quickly disappearing in Africa.

3.- Nordic-Germanics will speak decent English, but only because their language is so useless and gets you nowhere, so they realised "might as well join the empire". Additionally, they save money by not translating films or anything. They speak with horrible accent though.

.-In Southern Europe (Spain and Italy) most people won't speak English or anyother language, except Portugal, which has actually been a covered, British colony for centuries. But people who speak languages in Spain or Italy will normally speak a few languages and very efficiently. The average Spanish national doesn't need English to have a decent, happy fulfilling life.

.- And then you have the Swiss, who are supposed to speak German, French and Italian... and actually don't speak any of them correctly and sound weird in all 3...

> Brits are incapable of talking any other civilized language cause they believe everyone should speak theirs.

It's not even that really, it's just that we don't have any need to learn them, or to be more precise, we're never under any pressure to learn a different language.

Here in your schools you have people from an early age learning English because they're taught that it will be useful for them later in life, if they want a good job or to emigrate etc. You also usually seem to have some form of regional language, Catalan, Galician, Euskera.

In the UK and Ireland we don't have that, I had spanish classes for 7 years and didn't learn a bloody thing (I didn't learn anything in Irish class either), I think it's a combination of halfhearted teaching, since most people know unless you leave the country you won't use it, and a poorly structured teaching environment, mostly focusing on written exercises and not getting people to actually speak the language being learned.

Also unless you have Dyslexia or some other issue to give you an exemption, most students in Ireland will be forced to do Spanish, French or German classes, the languages offered depending on the school.

Just my personal observations though. I do think something similar to the language academies here in Spain would be a better system for learning languages back in Ireland.

The success of English is easily explained because of its simplicity, compaired to other major languages. To communicate, basic English grammar is quite simple. I believe a normal person in 1 year is capable of communicating in English quite decently.

If we stick to major western languages, then comes Spanish (1,5yrs) ) which is also quite simple; then French (3yrs) and German (4yrs) and Russian (4/5yrs) in this order.
>>
When you study French you're taught to use long sentences filled with adverbs, prepositions and stylistic figures. It's difficult to communicate like that in english
>>
>>75043216
Indeed... In french you can easily write a 20 line sentence with no fullstops. English sentences are shorter and more "telegraphic".

To be fair most of the English teachers I've met have been from the UK and Ireland.

It's actually kind of strange to hear an American accent for me.

It's mostly to do with the Visa I'd say, quite a lot of the younger teachers start off as Aupairs like I did, so having to get the visa is much more of an investment.

To be honest the 'British Accent' doesn't really have a standard, it's very different depending on whether you're Northern English, Southern English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish or from the Republic of Ireland.

I think when most people hear 'British Accent' what they think is the London accent, which I personally don't like much but it's an easy accent to follow which makes it a good one for language teachers.

which is ridiculous because the irish and most english accents sound very strange and are not what an english learner should be learning. English teachers should be American or speak RP English.
>>
French are very arrogant when it comes to their language. Unless you speak very well, they are very intolerant and would rather not listen to you "slaughtering" their language. I guess it has to do with pride.

The reality is that French, despite its "grandeur", has so many english words, its hard not to notice. They actually say "weekend" !!!

>>75041676
Thats closer to reality than you might think mon ami.

Today, an old guy asked me about our parking. I told him his car was too big for our small parking.

He asked me if I parked my car there, I told him that I do park my car there but I drive a Seat Ibiza, which is a small car, and he had a Citroen C5.

Then he asked me if all Spaniards buy Seat cars, and he also said that we shouldnt do so because Seat belongs to the Germans.

Depends, I come from the North East of the Republic which has a pretty easy accent and my accent even for there is pretty neutral, there was one teacher I can remember with a really thick Kerry accent though, god, even in Ireland we struggle to understand people from Kerry.

Plus the US has some pretty tough accents too.

I expected more people to speak English when I went to Paris. And the people who did speak English seemed disgusted by it. Parisians are fucking shitty snobs but don't worry France I won't judge you for it

"puede" es un calco semántico del inglés "can". En este caso el verbo a utilizar es "sabe".

Most Americans (and Canadians) speak with the same generic American accent, I can hardly tell the difference between someone from the east coast and the west coast. Sure there's a lot of slang when Americans talk amongst themselves but the accent is totally neutral and when an American is speaking clearly it's impossible to not understand them. Irish, Scottish, Australian, and rural English accents on the other hand I always have trouble with. Maybe your accent is easy for learners but I bet I would have trouble with it as a native speaker. I think the Scottish accent is pretty easy for Spaniards because they pronounce the r the same way but for English people it sounds strange.


Btw, why are there so many Irish people here in Spain? Your population is like 5 million yet I've met dozens of your countrymen here.

I've no idea man, I came out here as an Aupair for 3 months, 2 years later I'm still here.

I guess it's mostly economic? I'd like to go home, I really would, but the job market is awful. I don't make much money here, but at least I can make a life.

I will be going back to Ireland for a year to try and see if I can settle back at home, get a job etc, applied for the police but if it doesn't work I'm just going to move to Pais Vasco permanently.

Because the only requirement to be an ESL teacher is to have been born in the right place and it allows drifters to eke out a livelihood abroad better than they would at home.

>>75044895
What? Have pride irmão, you were the only ones in Iberia that resisted them when it mattered.
>>
>>75044918
Jesus, why is the Irish job market bad? I always here that Ireland is one of the greatest countries to live in, high HDI, etc surely there must be jobs?

You're an aupair? Isn't that a female thing?
>>
>>75044986
Not true if you want to teach somewhere like Spain or Japan. You need to be qualified, preferably with a CELTA.

Any loser can get a job in China or Cambodia, but for developed countries you need to be qualified
>>
>>75044986
Are you an ESL teacher?
>>
>>75045032

The same happened here. The second language to learn until the late 70s was French.
>>
>>75042226
>but French would look retarded if it were written phonetically.
That's because french is a retarded language.
>>
>>75045035
Aupair is my main job, I also teach in an academy on the side to make a bit more money.

Yeah it's usually a female job alright but I've been doing a decent job, I tend to be much stricter in my experience than most of the girls I've seen aupairing though. Some parents like that, some don't.

Quality of life in Ireland is good but it's really difficult to find work, I can't tell you why it's so bad to be honest, mostly a lack of entry level jobs to build up experience. It's also a very expensive country to live in, a beer could cost me anywhere between 3.50-5 euro.

I'm hoping my 2 years experience teaching and aupairing will help me get past that initial barrier into the job market.

If I do come back I'm not going to be an aupair again though, it's actually a pretty rough job since you haven't got much authority so the kids don't tend to respect you much. If I come back I'm just going to stick to teaching, maybe if I can get my spanish to a good enough level I might try to get some sort of /out/ job if I can.

I'm sure that applies to the nice schools, but there is no lack of shabby, two-bit schools who will take anybody as long as he's willing to work for peanuts.

>>75045120
>Are you an ESL teacher?
Nyet. But having lived the drifter life myself for a few years I can tell you the ESL types are the worst.
>>
>>75038336
I feel like the french are really good at english, at least on /int/. Even if they were all terrible, wouldn't you be the asshole for criticizing them when they're making an effort? When you do that no one wins, because that's the only way they would be able to get better at english in the first place.

It's mostly older generations. They have this inferiority complex with the frenchies, yet they revere anything coming from there. If you speak just a few sentences of french, old people will instantly think you're highly educated.

Younger generations don't give a fuck about France.

Perhaps you're right, but at least from advertised job positions it seems to be the rule. There is much more competition for people getting into nicer countries.

The main issue is the visa. Why should employees sponsor you, if you're not even qualified?

>>75045393
Ah eu entendo. People think French is very sophisticated here, but obviously we never reached the levels of fluency that any European country ever did.

Funny thing is that most of these people barely speak french. As I said, it's a language for the educated people.

It's also seen as very sophisticated language here, so much that older people disregard english and think it's an ugly language.

>>75045393

Younger generations don't give a shit about anything, that's nothing new.

I've heard that, sadly my only experience with the french has been the Parisians and I just found them very unfriendly
>>
>>75047432
it's because thay're butthurt about living in Paris with other butthurt
if you want to find good people there you need to look for students and all that stuff since they come from everywhere in France
>>
>>75047504
To be honest if I go to France again I'd rather go somewhere /out/

Preferably a woodland near a lake or river, camp for a couple nights, then maybe visit a few rural towns to try and get to experience the real culture.
>>
>>75047823
the most /out/ you can find is somewhere like Haute-Loire, you have wood river rural village and not too high mountains
even french people don't know where it is on a map
