Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
๐ช๐บ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
๐ง The freest of health care
๐ท The finest of foods
๐ณ๏ธโ๐ The liberalest of liberties
๐ The proud non-members and honorary cousins
๐ถ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream โonly in YUROP.โ
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

As someone with 9th grade Canadian core French from 25 years ago, this has not been my experience of the French at all. Not in France, nor in Quebec. What are y'all doing to their language??!?
Thatโs my baseline for speaking French. 99% of the time the French are gracious and switch.
The few times someone has responded โnonโ we use pidgin franglish or pantomime whatever we need to discuss. Havenโt had someone be a jerk about French or English in France for almost 20 years.
