French Travel Dictionary French / English Translations French has a lot of similarities to English. For example, while it might be hard to understand what people are saying, if you picked up a French newspaper you could probably get the general idea of the article you're reading. I knew a few guys who simply spoke English with an exaggerated French accent and somehow managed to get by like that! France however doesn't cater to English speaking tourists as much as other European countries. Therefore, I definetely recommend familiarizing yourself with some of the basics of the language.
