this is actually false. French people hate it when you don't try to speak their language. if you attempt it they are much more likely to be friendly to you.
Sorry for ruining them meme.

the Sweden thing is also kind of false. it's not really a "cute but". They really appreciate it because they feel like they are losing personal identity as their language isn't relevant. But they also prefer to talk to non-swedes in English so they switch.
I think the french thing is because most peoples only interactions are in Paris and a lot of people in Paris also speak English, but if you go out of Paris at all even well to do people only speak French so they appreciate it when you try, since it's their country. It's like how you don't want some beaner to speak spic at you.
I feel like French people would definitely hate it if I tried to speak their language, because it'd be an english Canadian speaking terribly mangled Quebecois pig-french.
