English
At this very moment I’m attending a meeting at The Big Company in France. There are six french folks around me speaking English instead of French. The only reason for that is me — I don’t speak French. It’s a bit hard for everyone to speak and understand English and initially I was a little bit ashamed of that. But soon I realized that the difficulty of speaking English makes everyone to focus on the essentials and prevents spoiling everyone’s time on the nonsense. Sweet.
