^ Forget about your French lessons, it's useless.
The guy is trying a little bit of it, it is yet something. I almost feel mercy on him.

In case you wouldn't have noticed yet, most English-speakers are absolutely pathetic at foreign languages.
A few of them are strangely skilled and can speak some fluent French or Spanish like it's astonishing. I'm always dumbstruck at these, like wondering - what kind of alien is this?
But in most cases, when you speak some French to them, their faces look like a database returning nil to you. They don't have a clue, lost in their own narrow world.

So, when one of them makes a slight mistake come straight from Google translate, you just shut your mouth and you focus on what you have to do instead of trying to teach them about anything, out of arrogance. Ok?

Their teachers will do the job. We don't have to worry about it.
