Not really their fault. France is way too proud of their language from a cultural standpoint. Television is all in french, books are all in french. If english word start to be use, older people are piss about it, say french language is being injured and stuff. School teach us english very badly, students ain't interessed in it.
So yeah.. It's known France is the worse country for learning foreign languages.
It used to be true. Not sure how it is now though. I guess the best way to learn english is still to do it on your own. And it is sooo easy nowadays. Just tell the kids to download the english subtitles instead of the french ones for all the TV show episodes they download :p
I recently saw a lot of people complain about the television show " The Voice" because they didn't translate it to " La Voix".

It's you
She has rather clean voice but weak. Not suited for concerts. At least that's how she sounds.
We're watching from a stream of a live performance put on by a small dedicated esports crew. I'm willing to attribute weak/strength of voice to sound production given this is the secondary part of the event. She sings in tune and doesn't require auto tune to make her tolerable heh.
Not that it's my kind of music, just that people are kinda harsh rofl

It's a cultural thing. Due to the history between France and UK, french schools didn't teach english by default (you could learn it if you wanted but you didn't _have_ to) for a long time, don't know if that changed by now. In germany and many other countries, everyone has to learn english at school.
It's obligatory here too now. But students hate it and don't see the point of learning it.
The point of learning other languages?
BRB answering tourist questions in 4 languages. BRB working abroad like it ain't no thang. BRB people think you are a smart eloquent motherfucker. BRB BRB
Well.. I wouldn't be here if I didn't learn english. :d If you're really good at it, being professional translator is a gold mine in Europe too. xD

C'mon, you come to a site infactuated with k-pop, do you really have room to be judgemental?
YES I WENT THERE TL COME AT BE BROS.
I don't mind kpop, but those nightwish wannabes (protip, i don't like nightwish) need to stop playing. Anyway we french dont know a single thing about rock music, at least we have Daft Punk and Justice.

Their language is amazing though, I get why they hold on to it.

"The American cowards are so funny, they refuse to speak [any language other than English] in their live events!"
Kind of funny, why the hell would they not speak their native language in a live event in their native country?
