When our French class went to France, our teacher who had taught at the Sorbonne for years, told us to speak French in public, no matter how how poorly it might be, because the French would at least appreciate the effort.
We were also cautioned on what not to wear and that a lot of French people didn't like Americans.
I didn't find any French people treating me with disdain and I did have to ask a lady that was outside washing her car for directions. I did so in French and was able to understand her directions.
I find that if you put forth the effort it does help. There is something to be said about making the attempt to learn the language at least a little for the country you are in.
Quite a few years back I was laid off and was just leaving the unemployment office, when a man approached me for help with his forms. He didn't speak any English and I felt terrible that I couldn't help him. I think he was Vietnamese.
