Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They didn't learn French before moving to a French country? Just... wow.

You can move to most European countries and learn the language from the welcoming people there that can switch to English or use a translator if necessary.

In France you are just a outcast, this is due to French people being assholes with their noses up their ass.

This was my experience in Paris, but not in Nice, even away from the tourist traps like Vizille I was very much encouraged to speak my broken French so I could learn. If they spoke English they'd apoligize for a dropped participle and then pull out a word like pugillistic.

Parisians hate everyone, including the French.
