tbh every time I even tried speaking a foreign language in europe to anyone under 40, they just came back at me in perfect english every time

I didn't know the Italian for "please humour me, I need to establish for my own comfort that I'm better at this than David Beckham", so in the end you just go with it

Or Spain. I've had young-ish people go literally slack-jawed and just walk away wordlessly when they asked me something in Spanish and I hit them with the ol "no hablo espanol"

When I was in France in 2008, a friend and I were trying to find the Eiffel tower. We stopped a French guy to ask for instructions, and the extent of my French skills were pretty much "pardonnez-moi, monsieur". He stopped politely enough, but when I switched to English he literally turned his nose up at us, and with a loud "HUMPH" pushed past us.

And for some on topic content, Cantona is continuing owning Neymar in his videos.

Frankfurt am Main is also a countryside, then (although it was pretty hilarious when we had a Turk with us, thinking we'd be fine between English and Turkish, and then have to resort to English with German Turks)

well, yes, if you're that much of a feckless bumpkin that you need to stop strangers in the street to ask for directions to the 1,000ft illuminated tower in the middle of town
