The myth that French people can't speak English persists

The myth that French people can't speak English persists ๐Ÿ˜ต But it's fake news.

While most people naturally feel more at ease in their native language, atwe made a strategic decision from the beginning: our team would be international, with English as our working language.

Here's the rationale behind this choice๐Ÿ‘‡

As we expand globally, there's no need for language transitions, documentation rewrites, or process modifications

We prioritize talent over language barriers. We provide English lessons at the office. Our team has 20+ different nationalities. People relocated from all around the world.

With 10+ natively spoken languages spoken within the team, we're well-equipped to serve retailers across 25+ countries ๐Ÿซ‚๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ

The only pain I see is for admin / legal stuff - navigating French law and deciding between English and French for legal and financial documentation can sometimes be painful...
