"J'ai appris le français." Top 5 Page for this destination Parlez vous francais? Tip by breughel

The fact that there is for Paris, most popular destination in EU, a tip group "Parlez-vous français? on local customs with 117 reviews mostly by Anglophones, shows that many visitors in Paris feel, maybe in their subconscious, somewhat uneasy not speaking French.
They see the splendors of Paris and would like to know a bit more about the French culture or just be able to exchange a few words with the taxi driver or the waiter at the restaurant and there is the barrier of the language.

My congratulations to all those who start with "bonjour" instead of "Hi"; most observed that this makes things easier in Paris.

Now between speaking French and writing it there is a serious gap. French grammar and spelling is quite difficult because there is not a rule in French without many exceptions.
This difficulty has also an advantage for the foreigner; many Frenchmen, even university students, are unable to write French correctly!
