Terry_Liz Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 HiI need to see a dentist quite urgently and I am afraid I have got very little French. I would be very grateful for any help in order to find an English speaking dentist close byMany thanksTerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Terry, do you have a French-speaking British friend, or English-speaking French friend who could possibly go with you to an appointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The Brive/Limoges area is huge. Perhaps you could be a bit more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Most dentists here speak some english, from our experience. As with doctors, vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've never been to a dentist that can speak English Patf, and I have been to loads. Our vet does not speak English either. My cat does not speak French or English. LOL. But they don't seem to have any problems communicating. As everyone knows, I speak rubbish French. But I have never had a problems communicating or understanding when going to a Dentist. I would not worry if they don't speak English.It is a good hurdle to get over.

richard51 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The local vet where we are in France does speak english, though we did not know until he started speaking to our dog in English! NB it was for a passport entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 ALBF - so there you are - another advantage of living in the boondocks (rural France) rather than big cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 No, that is not an advantage. ALBF did not get where he is today by going to see English speaking doctors, dentists and vets. Think about that one !!!!P.S I don't live in a big city. Small town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alittlebitfrench Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 PATF...have you been smoking grass again ?The fall and rise of reginald perrin.....or ALBF (LOL)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drlPbIWAz-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 ALBF: Similar to WBs responses when he wont admit that he is perhaps backing the wrong position. City living is the same the world over - commuting or having lots of dosh if in the centre.Nb have had two glasses of everyday wine - too tight to open good stuff brought back last year from France.
