Yep, went to france to learn french, was questioned (by an idiot) why I didn't knew (spoke) french well.
They exist in all countries.
Edit: learn, not kearn...
Don't you DARE speak French in France unless you're a native speaker!
That country is the reverse complaint put forth in this thread.
Same.
Of course, the first phrase I made absolutely certain I could rattle off was "excuse me I don't speak French well". Deliver that with a smile and they can be pretty damn forgiving.
