> I don't really have an accent which sucks. People just think I am a stupid French person who makes grammatical mistakes here and there and has a more limited vocabulary set.

I recently stumbled across a French/English comedy special which has a bit specifically about this, and how much French people judge other French people's French.

I have absolutely zero experience with French and I still found most of the clips entertaining

Thanks ! Hilarious. Its true French are super judgmental about French (not Québécois so much). Amusingly African French are exactly the same or worse then Europeans.

I had a girlfriend who did exactly the same as his wife.
