Have you ever learned French? The words bleed together and it is worse in the south. Pouvez-vous repeter is not something they like to hear every 2 seconds. Usually they switch to english because speaking with an accent is offensive. I can read it all day. Not to mention my husband at that time refused to speak in his native tongue with me. And where we worked they were all research scientists who had to learn multiple languages and came from around the world. I was not allowed to go anywhere without him and he confiscated my phone and destroyed it multiple times or said it was stolen. 🤷♀️
Haha, yes I have. But I'm Irish, so blending words together in English is nor unusual.
My experience of French speaking in France is that the French appreciate the effort, but prefer the language not to be mangled, so will switch to English if you try French. However, if you don't try, they may suddenly forget all their English.
The ohine is either a funny story or abusive behaviour. Idk
And through most of Covid man.
