Not everyone has an ease with language, unfortunately.

You and I do, but I know francophones who are incapable of learning English no matter how hard they try, and anglophones who are incapable of learning French, or any other language for that matter.

It works out for some people, but others will never learn anything beyond their native tongue, especially if they migrate as adults.

European countries and their citizens tend to understand and speak English pretty well, with some exceptions, and most of them offer services in English upon request
