Do The People in Luxembourg Use English? What about France


Do The People in Luxembourg Use English? What about France?
I'm going for a little trip to EU and meet in Luxembourg with a bunch of others to Germany, but I'll need to travel all the way from CDG Airport to Vianden. Do the people there speak English? Specifically the people that works at the train station and the bus. (I'm not worried about the airport). If I get lost and no one speaks English, I'll be doomed! Please respond!

Not in France. They refuse to Speak English.

English is a second language in Europe. Do take the effort to learn some basic phrases. In Luxembourg, they speak Luxembourgian and they speak French in France, take note that English is not really a true language, it belongs to the Germanic group of languages (Dutch, Afrikaans). It uses words of other languages to make up the vocabulary.

In Luxembourg almost everybody will speak some English and most will speak good English. In France the percentage of people speaking English is not as big, but still many people speak good English. If you are polite, ask if you may speak English (in French if you know how, otherwise in English,) and start every conversation with Bonjour, the French will be very helpful So no worries about getting lost.
