School exchange trip. One week in French family, one week French kid in our family.

"My" exchange student couldn't make two words in english, literally. In high school. How was that possible IDK. His younger brother was the same.

Probably because they lived in rural France with unskilled English teachers

It was rural, but still like 30 km to Strasbourgh, so it was not end of the world...

Alsace is known to be quite rural, 30km from Strasbourg could be far remote already.

Did they speak Alsacian by any chance? I know older people had it as a first language a few generations ago
