Why do French people speak English so badly?
One of the most common complaints about French people is that they speak English so badly. But why is this the case? And what can be done to improve their language skills?
There are a few reasons why French people may have trouble speaking English. Firstly, the two languages are quite different in terms of pronunciation and grammar. French people can’t just say what they want to say using English sentence structures and expect people to understand them. The second reason is that French people often neglect to improve their English, or pay any attention to it at all. When the students study French, they’re told that English is unimportant and not worth learning – so very few French people actually try improving their English skills.
