Yeah we are bad in english... well not that bad but we got great difficulties to be talkative in english, in the other hand we are better in writing english... ( ok i'm not the best example...). all our best english talkers are gone in another countries.
I think the most annoying thing is that lot of french gonna make fun at you if you are speaking to them in english... (stupid poeples are everywhere... ), plus we don't have much practice in" english speaking" so to be franck we talk english like spanish cows... xD
