It's all fun and games until you meet the French 😂
It's not as bad as I make it sound, though they are a people who are very proud of their language, and not particularly tolerant of people who butcher it.
The Parisians generally can't be arsed with your efforts and speak English anyway - fair enough, their English is better than your Français 99% of the time.
The rest of the French are absolutely brutal, and in a good way. If they figure that you're learning the language, then they will let you learn - even if it means letting you flail and and stutter, or even outright sink when you speak. Fair play, it makes you learn faster - they absolutely will not switch to English.
It's great for the learner, even if it appears overly blunt (or even outright hostile) to begin with. 11/10 would try speaking again A++++
