Default Re: Questions about Germany

"I hope you´re kidding. French only speak French and even have a law that prohibits the use of english terms in public."

The French don't actually abide by that law. And whether the French choose to speak English or know how to speak English are two different things. In French middle/high schools, kids are required to learn English and, in addition (as the secondary language), either German or Spanish.
