If you ever have the opportunity again, I would most certainly recommend speaking to the French CM's more. I got the sense that they really enjoyed talking to me and all were super friendly about it. Even when I couldn't understand them they were very good about helping me. I have to believe...

I just came home today from Florida. It rained every day except one I think the past week. However as many others have said here, it doesn't last long, even though some times it can be a little intense for 15 or 20 minutes. For me it's just all part of the Florida experience, so I wouldn't let...

It truly was, thank you!

I just returned this morning from my vacation to Florida. While it is still fresh in my mind I thought that I would report back on my experiences since so many were kind enough to respond to me here. My goal/hope on this trip was to find someone who might be willing to spend a few minutes with...

Thanks so much Ron this is very helpful information, especially the tip about the movie. From a lot of the responses I've received, I get the sense that it's often super busy there. I've only been to Epcot a couple of times and in the French pavilion I only recall going to the wine shop. It...

Thanks for the tip! I was wondering if they would have French speaking people in the Marocco pavilion.

Thanks, I'll check that out!

I was talking to one of my co-workers yesterday and she did try to speak some French at the Boulangerie and didn't get the warmest reception. However she did say in one of the shops where it was not quite so busy it was much better. So I'm thinking about the wine shop or in one of the...

I've had plenty of those experiences right here at home lol How is that restaurant btw? My only real experience in the world showcase area is doing the "drink around the world" a couple of times with my brother. We successfully completed it last time. But on the first attempt we got as far as...

LOL, they just call them "des frites."

Initially that was totally my plan, but didn't know if they might just prefer that I speak English so that they can get on to the next customer.

That's awesome that you did that. I've never been to France, maybe some day, but I've heard that if you at least try to speak some French, the reception you get is a lot better than what you might experience if you expect them to speak English. So I'm kind of hoping for that kind of experience.

LOL I love when they do that, also the moonshiners show. Most of my experience is with French-French. If I watch a French movie, which I do often, I can usually understand what they are saying here and there. The other day I was watching a couple of Canadian-French videos on youtube, I couldn't...

Now if I have an experience like that then I probably won't feel too self conscious about speaking French with my American accent lol

That could make things fun :)

Interesting enough the teacher in my French class is from Mexico, I'm serious lol

Actually I have already practiced my English in the UK pavilion, "Another pint please." :)

I have been studying French for about a year. I thought while I'm in Orlando this summer that I would visit the French Pavilion at Epcot and attempt to practice my French with some native francophones. I was wondering if anyone here has done that and what kind of experiences you may have had...
