Friends,
I have been here for several months and am tired of hearing silly comments like "vous parlez Anglais-Francaise"!
I am not from here and speak English- if I am making some effort to try and learn French what is the purpose of constantly hearing stupid comments! These are digs at one- cant they try and appreciate rather than expect that one is supposed to learn French instantly! i find they are very strange people with peculiar hangups- they are not French but Ivorions!....It isi no wonder that the Anglophone Africans make little effort to learn French!.....just my thoughts ........moreover the Ivorion French is hardly correct French!

first, sorry to hear that, but 2nd, funny/sad story, in the plane as i was coming here, the emirates attendant made an announcement looking for a passenger in like broken french and this large group of orange telecom, burst in laughter! it was ridiculous, i was thinking at least she tried and she got her point across, who can say a sentence in english in this group? like seriously?
anyhoo my rant for today, if u need an ivorian buddy who won't make fun of ur mistakes, holler!

All,
First of all, let me apologize on behalf of my fellow Ivorian. I have been well around the world to understand how shocking this can be. I am an Ivorian living in the States and traveling around the world often. you will need to understand that courtesy is not a big plus in the overall french culture. Ivorian will usually laugh at different persons. We do not respect differences as much as in the English cultures, it is so sad. I had to be very harsh with the kids of a friend who came to visit in the States and who were laughing at every obese person in the street. Just to provide you a context, sorry again for this!!!

Thanks for understanding, I don't hear any Ivorion saying "sorry"!
Most arrogant people I have met in my life -how can they think they are superior when they are so backward.
People need to understand their mistakes before doing anything....but if one does not accept then change is not possible...so they can keep thinking they are superior when they are not

Hi,
yes I agree with you- the same things happened to me on a recent Emirates flight- the cabin attendant was unable to pronounce the name of the airport in Abidjan in correct "Ivorion" French and all the passengers- Ivorions started laughing- they are pathetic considering the cannot speak any English and nor do they speak correct French.

Hello,
Why are you coming especially to learn French in Abidjan? For one the Ivorion accent is terrible and French they speak is not even right.
You should go to
Learn French where there is a Alliance Francaise and preferably where there are French teachers or those qualified from Alliance Francaise and pls don't learn Ivorion French ! Moreover accommodation is not that great here either not recommended to travel all the way here to
Learn French !
