Hmmm, lots of gen-X (1965 to 1980) know how to speak English better than French, we were born before or when the dictatorship ended but we only went to school AFTER the dictatorship ended, of course.

I just noticed this summer that there seems to be waves of tourists from the same country. For example the last couple of weeks it’s been French. Before that it was Swedish or Scandinavian.
