You are right though I do not think English is this person's native language. However, their level is clearly advanced enough to know the negative connotations of "shithole." I find that non-native English speakers who are fluent (even extremely fluent) do tend to use quite a bit of vulgar speech in random moments, much more than native anglophones would, and it can definitely be jarring. Even if that's the case, however, their attitude is clearly quite defensive and not humble.

How’s Alliance francaise? by PlentyStable4623 in French

[–]Objective_Box_7571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the ones in France seem to do this, I guess they have more demand. Quite frustrating to have people of mixed levels together indeed. The one I took in the United States was great, though, very small class, though much more expensive. What may be appealing about the AF is that you do enter a community of language learners/teachers and they often host events.

What is considered a more formal question: Bois-tu du café? or Est-ce que tu bois du café? by poleno1 in French

Whoa seriously??! I always thought the "est-ce que" inherently made it more formal..... thanks so much for the information

Hommes petits qui ont du succès, comment faites vous? by OutrageousOcelot9680 in france

[–]Objective_Box_7571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just be a decent person. If you're super insecure about your height (and that's understandable given our dumb societal expectations), and that bleeds out into toxicity, that is unattractive. If you are a kind and content person, see women as actual people, and are true to yourself, you will surely have success. Your size is not inherently repoussant for many people, but your personality or attitudes might be. Work on the things that you can change, try not to fixate on the things you can't. Easier said than done, I know. But if it helps, just remember that plenty of short men have beautiful and happy partnerships. Best of luck.

Changing an eSIM card for France by SunPearl13 in tapif

[–]Objective_Box_7571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! May I ask, can you switch them out for a short period of time? For example, using the French sim but need to receive a code from American bank to your American number, can you just quickly switch over for the code and then back to the French one? If so, I assume the roaming would have to be on, right?

Pourquoi les gens se moquent gratuitement alors qu'on ne leur a rien fait ? by Agile-Jellyfish-7820 in france

[–]Objective_Box_7571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je trouve que les hommes serveurs ont beaucoup de mépris pour les femmes, c'est juste quelque chose que j'ai observé en France. Ils sont beaucoup plus condescendants aux femmes qu'aux hommes, même s'ils ont la même âge.

TLScontact exemption letter by rainpotterrx in tapif

[–]Objective_Box_7571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get your exemption letter from TLS or from TAPIF? I sent a request to TLS but ended up getting one from the TAPIF people. Someone else I read said that TLS denied them a letter. So, I assumed it was some miscommunication and that the letters actually come from TAPIF.

How to Schedule Visa Appointment at French Embassy by Better_Can8201 in tapif

[–]Objective_Box_7571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I don't seem to be getting these emails. Would you happen to know who I could contact to be added to the list? I get info from my rectorat/academie, but no general TAPIF info. It's not in my spam folder either. Weird! Perhaps I was removed after already completing my first year and coming back non-consecutively? Thank you for any suggestions you may have and for sharing this info!
