I'm an American going to France for the first time, and I know a little French I learned in school, but I'm afraid to speak it because I've heard that if you don't speak it perfectly, that people won't want to talk to you or help you with directions or information you might need.  At the same time, I watched "Emily in Paris" and they weren't very happy about her not even trying to speak English... so what do I do?

Au contraire, mon ami - any little bit of French you might speak will be very appreciated!  Never mind poor Emily - she is far from a realistic character, and as for the French people in the series, their French cultural traits are somewhat exaggerated.  As for Paris, think of it the same way as you would any large city - New York, for example.  People are in a hurry, living their lives, rushing from work to appointments to pick up their children from school, etc., and they may not have a lot of time to talk to you.

And if you have a sense of humor and don't take yourself too seriously, the whole country will teach you French.  Allow people to correct you, and don't worry if they don't act extremely enthusiastic about your presence - French people can be more reserved in the North.  If you go down South, you may find people somewhat more gregarious.  If you want to blend in a bit, dress somewhat conservatively and wear comfortable shoes.  If you end up not liking the clothes or shoes you are wearing, you can always do a little shopping, American Express is an international language. ;) Bon voyage!
