As someone who lives in France I can say that cultural differences do in fact exist as you suggested. In Germany it's quite common to take English words and work them into everyday use especially in special fields like poker or IT were the original terminology is English (I'd guess it's a little different in say medicin and I know it's different in Math for example).
Also, Germans usually have no problem speaking English to foreigners (or at least try to). That's quite different in France (eventhough they should have the same level of English skills on average from school) but then again France is a little "special" in that regard with their quotas for French music on the radio and whatnot [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
