the impression I get is that they're pretending not to understand, but they do, they just don't give a flying fuck what other people think of them because everyone keeps buying their cheese, wine, and fashion so they're busy counting money, getting laid, and smoking like chimneys lol

    Historically they think, or at least seem to think, learning English is beneath them. In fact doing anything not French is beneath them. Then they act like wankers and that's why everyone hates them.

    English is the dominate language and the Chinese even accepted it before the French. At this point the youth have sort of given up and end up consuming a lot of media and internet in English so it's way better. Also the lingua franca of Europe is English so they got to learn it just to speak to everyone else, but they don't really and as such have probably the worst english is western Europe and even most of Europe in general.
