For example, English speakers commonly mix up your/you’re or there/their/they’re. I’m curious about similar mistakes in other languages.

    As a French speaker, I’m not mad at foreigners for not speaking French. I’m very tolerant for all their mistakes and I will help them if they want to.

    I’m mad at French speakers mistakes though. Like people mixing first person futur and imparfait. Or people saying digital instead of numérique (those ones I hate them).

      As someone whose 2nd language is French, thank you for your tolerance! I am much more rusty now since my grandparents have passed and my parents & other family members no longer speak it, but I do want to get back into learning it better again.
