I never had a problem with the locals; I was actually complimented a number of times on my french (especially in Chartres and the region we stuck around in, sort of central-southern France). I love the language dearly, I think it's beautiful and a joy to learn, but from a practical standpoint, I really wish that I had at least taken Spanish with it.
I can converse in German, hold my own in French like a mofo, and dog-cuss a cabron in Spanish. I used to know a little Russian, Japanese, and Gaelic, but that's all gone to hell (with the exception of maybe a handful of words in Japanese).
