By the way. One reason the French sometimes appear aloof to visitors from US
is that very few Americans even bother to try speaking French. They just
start talking in English and assume the French person will understand.
Learn a couple of basic phrases, like "Parlez vous L'anglais?", "Je ne parle
le Francais" and "Excusez Moi", and use them every time you meet a French
person - you'll get a whole different reaction.
