Why do French people always answer me in English (and what can I do about it)?

If you’re learning French and you’re trying it out on a Real Life French Person, you may have found that they sometimes respond in English.

The horror!

But what does it all mean? Are they being rude, polite, helpful, or are they showing off?

I had language teacher Camille from French Today in the studio to answer all my questions about it.

Camille has written pretty extensively on this topic before too, find out more about how to make French people speak French right here.
