| 1626032170539143168 | @lijukic Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French. ―P.G. Wodehouse, The Luck of the Bodkins | 9 |

| 1626212087801282562 | @lijukic I’m not so sure. Based on staying in (relatively posh) campsites in rural France, (upper) middle class English people are more likely to be able to get by in French than the Germans and even surprisingly the Dutch | 1 |
| 1626147324656328706 | @lijukic I can talk about how I play football in the park after school with my friends and, from time to time, go to the discotheque on Saturday evenings. Does that count? | 1 |

| 1625977026359304192 | @lijukic Something like this does also sort of double as a piece of psychological insight into different cultures yeah? I imagine there are plenty of places where people systematically undersell/underestimate their foreign language fluency, as well as the reverse. | 1 |

| 1626569546961244162 | @nickTheWink @lijukic Do you think 39% of French people can have a proper conversation in English by the same measure? And over 50pc of Germans? https://t.co/oMJZGiANRJ | 1 |
