Are the French rude ?
-
OK, I don't speak French or any other language other than English and I'm also British.
I work in the UK as a customer service manager and have to deal very regularly with the French. Now you would expect that under these circumstances of things not working, broken down, very upset people that you should get a clear view of the French (multiple areas of France). In general in my honest opinion the French are no different than any of my other customers in the world. The fact is if you treat them like you expect to be treat yourself, you'll go a long way. It is also a fact that the cultures are completely different, so don't ingnore that... but isn't that good ? and interesting ?
When ever I travel in both France, Spain e.t.c. around Europe mainly for work I always try to make an effort with the language, which to be honest isn't often easy. I have found fantastic response from people and on many occasions the people have given back 200%. Dependent on who and where the people are, I have found them interested in learning more about the English language, not what I expected on most occasions.
Look in simple terms, I know more rude people in England than I do in France. I also know that the Americans are as proud of their country and heritage as the French are. Try to embrace the culture and language of the country you visit and you'll only feel better for it.
Hope this helps people...Darren 23 Jul 2008, 07:10 - Verstoß melden
