The French wouldn't ! speak to me in English at first, but most of them helped me a lot to communicate and encouraged me all the time.They repeated their phrases and now I can say that I can cope with most of the situations!They also were very nice, some of them accepted to speak in english finaly!!!, there were language courses in the University which I attended and many of the people were correcting my mistakes (a little bit annoying!! it depended on the person).
