Slightly irritatingly for we English, most of the world really speaks American, which is a little different. :-)

One of the frustrations of being a native English speaker is that, despite my efforts to speak other languages, nearly everyone replies in English and often wants to practice their English. Most know we're English before we even speak. Sigh.

I once went to a concert by a pair of guys, one beat-boxing, the other playing Kora. They each had a tiny bit of French, but mostly their communication was music. Great little concert!
