AlexClare94 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Very recently moved to the south of France and was just wondering if there was anybody on here with any info as to where I could start to look for some riders with decent English. I've seen about 10 riders in one of the villages close to me but I know next to no French Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 go talk to them to be fair, most Frenchies can't talk proper english either, but you may be able to communicate though you just have to know when and where they go out riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I can't help thinking if you've moved there it might be worth learning the lingo. you might as well ride with them, you'll pick it up quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 honestly I have seen with people with English knowledge going as far as "Yes" and "2 beer please" and with some dancing they sorted out a bank account for themselves. You should be able to communicate with some sign language and dancing and basically wanting to talk to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try and they want to understand you then you WILL communicate. I know it is not easy for the first time, but it can be done:) Ohh and DO NOT SPEAK SLOW AND LOUD. It wont work and just make people angry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
