Parlez-vous Français?? / Do you speak French??

If you are going to Paris for an ear op, I would suggest that you learn a little bit of French. Nothing too complicated. Just hello, how are you, my name is.. etc. if you start speaking English straight away, chances are the Parisian will ignore you. If you start with bonjour comment allez-vous they will probably gladly help you if you speak English afterwards. The best way to learn is if you get the 24/7 tutor app for your apple device. I'm sure there's an android version as well.
