Not the easiest name in any language I''ll admit. People can be very forgiving tho - a chap who came to my house in France to do some work said " I love your accent when you speak French " !!!! whilst my friend/neighbour ( who taught English at the local primary school ) was forever correcting my pronunciation. You can't win really but as long as you make the effort, help is always forthcoming on the language side of life

They would confuse the word merd , which is mild and everyday in French, with the English sh*t. This is not a word I expect polite young girls to use too freely.
