Yea sure, maybe not france rn but um, I always wanted to visit Europe, well not the eastern parts cuz I dont wanna get hit by a russian missile 👀, but Schengen Area seems cool. Problem is I dont feel like learning 5 different languages so I’m gonna have to rely on google translate.
I heard that Iceland speaks English
But I just got back from Canada recently so probably no traveling for at least a few months, it gets tiring after like the 4th day.

You can get by on English and a few very basic local words basically everywhere in Europe.
I’m yet to meet a Dutch person that didn’t speak ridiculously good English. After losing my glasses on a rollercoaster there, the optician I went to visit was quite disgruntled when I (politely I thought) asked if he could speak English.
You don’t have to learn 5 different languages to visit europe. In Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland or the Netherlands basically everyone understands some English.
I have also travelled to Croatia and Slovenia without knowing a single word in their languages.
Not as many as you think. In spain many people I met spoke a bit of italian, in the north (netherlands, germany, denmark, norway and sweden) most people speak english. French is a must for the south of belgium and france, at least for the polite basics. And in eastern europe, I have managed quite well with english +german (czech republic, hungary and romania). In touristy areas nearly everywhere people speak english and if you go to tiny villages I’ve struggled to understand people even in a country that’s supposed to speak my own language.

Unexpected Dutch is a good way to give me a stroke scare. I’m kinda understanding the words before I realize another language is being spoken.
That’s danish for dutch people.

You want to visit the Netherlands, something like 90% of them speak English. Also Amsterdam is beautiful.
You can get away with English only in most of Europe’s tourist areas.
