    My favorite phrase to use in all foreign countries is “Please forgive me, I am American.” It gets a laugh out of almost everyone even when terribly butchered in any language and most people will then attempt English for you.

    Except Parisians, who do not care. I think they would prefer I point and grunt to trying either English or my awful French.
