    Hardly a world traveller, but Paris is the only place where my butchering of a local language was more effective in communication than their butchering of English.

    I LOVED the experience of the tables being turned, where I was the one who sounded slow and uncertain in another language.

    Completely masked the reality that I sound slow and uncertain in my native tongue. But THEY’LL never know 😉😉
