[@josedelnegro46]

Spoken French and written French are two different languages. So it is acceptable to read written French in any manner one is comfortable with. Remember that listening is the A Priori and the most important of all human skills. Think of it this way you can't see a bullet coming but you can hear a gun's report. If you hear the report but it does not strike you have a chance of evading the second round. What we see comes to us faster. What we hear arrived thousands of times slower but sound travels around and thought objects. Photons of light do not have that property. Hearing is the most important skill. However, the You Tubers does not hear French well either. As I write I listen. And can see that he is more of a parrot using the hear then repeat method. Never say what you have not read in an authoritative source in any language no matter how familiar one thinks one is with any language.

Beautiful place! Half of my ancestors were also French (Quebec and Wallonia), but we lost the language two generations back and have to learn again. Glad to know you, Cousin! ❤

Women's health services are available. Also higher education and free entry to schools in France. So a lot of women leave for school during ages where most in other nations without opportunities are reproducing. The change from being in a Spanish/English (who only develop areas for themselves and treat it all as a resort and the native population as servants) Caribbean country to a French one was always noticeable. The French speak French and not English because they're not constantly hustling they have a higher quality of life and don't need to. Notice there were not street workers on his tour. And its illegal to hustle in the beach ⛱️ that's why it was peaceful 🤣

Suriname has a issue with taxi cause 1st time I went the bus/taxi service (Dugla and terry bus service) refuse to take me to my destination and left me stranded after I already paid….. even when I asked the driver (terry) to take me to a taxi service to get to my hotel he refused

[@timothrykrasnapolsky]

@ oh my…😐 sorry that you had such a terrible experience. I only trust Tourtonne Taxi (1690). If you don’t receive your change back, just ask them to return it. They also have an app on Google Playstore/App Store which makes it easier to order a cab. I stopped taking the bus to be really honest although it’s s bit cheaper.

That statement about the French not wanting to speak English is not true. While some didn't want to speak English the majority of people will. You have to be polite about it, start of with the bon jour then ask if they speak English. I've been to France 3 times, the latest was the Olympics and I haven't had any problem.

Regarding language, how many German or French visitors to the US can walk up to a random person and expect them to be conversant in German or French, same applies for the people of French Guyana or any other place.

Is it just me or do the French not really take care of their overseas territories? I visited the French side of St Martin about a year after hurricane irma, and while the Dutch side was well on its way back, the French side looked like the hurricane had just passed the previous week.

Oh I had to laugh about you not getting your change back in Surinam... That's sneaky... 😁 I'm from the Netherlands, so we have very close ties with Surinam, and many people from Surinam live here. However, these have the reputation of being trustworthy over here... Never been cheated by a "Surinamer", so I was quite surprised. Perhaps the not so favourable economic situation in Surinam plays a big role. So they see this "rich dollar loaded American guy" come by and think you can miss it...
