And this is what Alexia, a lovely young French woman who has moved to Finland, says the Finnish see as the stereotypical Frenchman:
- We are not good at learning other languages
- We eat strange things
- We drink too much red wine
- We pretend to know everything
- We always want to be right
- We talk too much and often to say nothing
- We are proud of our language and everything French
- We spend too much time greeting each other, we speak to each other in the respectful form and we are always thanking each other
- We are fussy about what we eat
- We refuse to speak English
- We are always on strike
- We are arrogant and otherwise
- We like to flirt and sweet talk
- We are not very eco-conscious
- We make cars which are not suitable for Finland (well, excuse me!! -ed)
- Our grammar is complicated and the pronunciation is diffcult (and THIS from the Finns?? -ed)
- we are bureaucratic
- We have an opinion on everything and do not hesitate to give it (Bravo! -ed)
- We have no idea how to drive
- We are too chauvinistic
- Our hierarchy is too important
- Looking at the corruption, the scandals and the demonstrations, there is obviously a problem with our system
