fiogf49gjkf0d French can be a deceptively familiar language because of the number of words and structures it shares with English. Despite this, it's far from easy, though the bare essentials are not difficult to master and can make all the difference.

People working in tourist offices, hotels and so on, almost always speak English and tend to use it when you're struggling to speak French - be grateful, not insulted
