Best Answer

It is perfectly possible to get around Paris if you do not speak a word of French, but a significant part of the cultural experience (especially socializing with locals) will be lost. While most Parisians in tourist-oriented businesses (like museums, restaurants, and hotels) speak enough English to do their work, a complex discussion might be more difficult to have.

If you can speak some French, there are Parisians who will take kindly to it and there are also Parisians who will be asinine, arguing that you are "butchering the French language". So, if you speak some French, prepare for a warm reception, but be wary of a more belligerent reception.

What French speak French and their capitals?

um... I think I know what you mean. In France, they speak French and their capital is Paris. In Quebec, they speak Quebecois, which is basically slang french, (but don't tell them that!) and their capital is Quebec city. In Haiti they speak Haitian Creole, some other islands speak Creole, which is basically french but it has a lot of different words and is very hard for a french speaker to understand! Their capital is Port-au-Prince. In Ivory Coast, (cote d'ivoire) they also speak very good french, idk their capital. (google it) There are a few countries in Africa that speak french including Algeria, Liberia, Sudan (i think) and Ivory coast. Did this help?
